Answer / vetri
Strong type is checking the types of variables as soon as
possible, usually at compile time. While weak typing is
delaying checking the types of the system as late as
possible, usually to run-time. Which is preferred depends
on what you want. For scripts & quick stuff you’ll usually
want weak typing, because you want to write as much less
(is this a correct way to use Ensligh?) code as possible.
In big programs, strong typing can reduce errors at compile
time.

Answer / kirti
Strong typing implies that the types of variables involved in operations are associated to the variable, checked at compile-time, and require explicit conversion; weak typing implies that they are associated to the value, checked at run-time, and are implicitly converted as required. (Which is preferred is a disputable point, but I personally prefer strong typing because I like my errors to be found as soon as possible.)
