Typing refers to the association of a variable with a data type. Strongly typed languages are those that enforce the assignment of values that match the declared type of a variable. The advantage of strong typing is that the compiler can find errors at compile time by checking that, for instance, function arguments match the type declaration of the function, and that function return values are assigned to compatible type variables. The original C language was not strongly typed. ANSI C is more strongly typed than C. The other consideration of the typing issue is when checking should be performed. Static type checking is done at compile-time. Dynamic type checking is done at run-time. Dynamic type checking results in error messages at runtime when a type error is encountered.
Higher-Level Programming

Void is also a data type. A void type has no values therefore we cannot declare it as variable as we did in the case of integer and float. A void data type is normally used with function to specify its type. Our “Hello World!” program is an example where we declared “main()” as void type because it does not return any value. A single character can be defined as a character type of data. In other words, character type variable can hold a single character. Characters are usually stored in 1 byte of internal storage. The qualifier signed or unsigned can be explicitly applied to char. The following code block shows the use of character data type. { char Letter; Letter = ‘z’; }Helpful Hint: With object-oriented programming, a programmer can create new data types to meet application needs. Languages that leave little room for programmers to define their own data types are said to be strongly typed languages.Self-Learning: Do some research from the Internet and books on C programming and find out the standard range for various fundamental data types used in C.

Direct connection to this API is handled entirely by Aboleth API. Many of the available endpoints have been proxied to provide Aboleth Mobile direct access to this data, with the response models modified better to suit the strongly typed architecture of C#. Further, the response models have expanded to include complete object definitions of internal properties such as a race or class’s starting proficiencies, otherwise only referenced by ID, name, and URL.
