Type Systems

A type system is a set of rules that assigns a type to every expression in a programming language, ensuring the correctness and maintainability of code. By catching type-related errors at compile-time rather than runtime, type systems help developers write more robust and reliable software, making them a fundamental concept in programming languages and a crucial tool for developers to master.
