Type Checking

Type checking is a programming feature that verifies the data type of a variable or expression at compile-time or runtime, helping catch type-related errors and improve code maintainability. By ensuring that the correct data types are used, type checking enables developers to write more robust, reliable, and maintainable code, making it a crucial aspect of programming languages and a key consideration for developers seeking to prevent bugs and improve overall code quality.
