Although such behaviour is typically meant to make the language easier, it can lead to surprising and difficult to predict consequences that many programmers are unaware of. For example, Javascript's loose equality rules can cause equality to be intransitive (ie. a == b and b == c, but a != c), or make certain values be equal to their own negation.
To investigate the left distributivity of set subtraction over unions or intersections, consider how the sets involved in (both of) De Morgan's laws are all related: () = = () always holds (the equalities on the left and right are De Morgan's laws) but equality is not guaranteed in general (that is, the containment might be strict). Equality ...
The process of verifying and enforcing the constraints of types—type checking—may occur at compile time (a static check) or at run-time (a dynamic check). If a language specification requires its typing rules strongly, more or less allowing only those automatic type conversions that do not lose information, one can refer to the process as strongly typed; if not, as weakly typed.
For example, Aahz Maruch observes that "Coercion occurs when you have a statically typed language and you use the syntactic features of the language to force the usage of one type as if it were a different type (consider the common use of void* in C). Coercion is usually a symptom of weak typing.
In mathematical writing, the term strict refers to the property of excluding equality and equivalence [1] and often occurs in the context of inequality and monotonic functions. [2] It is often attached to a technical term to indicate that the exclusive meaning of the term is to be understood.
A group of 58 researchers is calling for a new, better way to measure obesity and excess body fat that goes beyond BMI. Here's what they recommend using instead.
2. Eat More Slowly. Eating more slowly can help you notice when you’re feeling full. It may also reduce your appetite and help you eat less later in the day.
A strict programming language is a programming language that only allows strict functions (functions whose parameters must be evaluated completely before they may be called) to be defined by the user. A non-strict programming language allows the user to define non-strict functions, and hence may allow lazy evaluation.
