Weakly Typed – Programming Languages: A classification of programming languages in which data types are implicitly converted between different types, allowing for greater flexibility but also increasing the risk of type-related errors. In weakly typed languages, variables can be used interchangeably between types, which can lead to unintended behavior. Examples include JavaScript and Python, where type conversions may occur without explicit developer intervention.
