Occasionally, I'm told "strong typing helps prevent programmer error", with no explanation of how it prevents errors. (Okay, so it stops me from adding a string and an int. If I was adding strings and ints and expecting to get something useful, I have deeper problems than weak typing.)Please consider this C code:
See my error (actually a typo)? See how gcc warnings (which are kinda weak strong typing) save my time?char name[] = "miguel"; int st_len = 0, namel; namel = strlen(name); st_len += name;
