<programming> Enforcement of type rules at run time as
opposed to compile time. Dynamic typing catches more errors
as run-time exceptions than static typing.
Tcl, Perl, PHP, Python and Visual Basic are examples
of dynamically typed languages. A dynamically typed language
may have strong typing or weak typing.
