Introduction
JavaScript makes declaring types convenient. The type coercion feature saves us from thinking up types for variables. In fact, sometimes it makes us wonder; how does JavaScript manage to do all this? Also, is this only a JavaScript feature?
To answer that we need to understand two common techniques:
- Static type checking
- Dynamic type checking
These two techniques are ...
