Which statement best describes Ruby's typing system?
ARuby is dynamically typed and strongly typed.
BRuby is statically typed and weakly typed.
CRuby is statically typed and strongly typed.
DRuby is dynamically typed and weakly typed.
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:

  1. Step 1: Understand dynamic typing

    Dynamic typing means variables can hold any type and change types anytime during execution.

  2. Step 2: Understand strong typing

    Strong typing means the language prevents mixing incompatible types without explicit conversion.

  3. Final Answer:

    Ruby is dynamically typed and strongly typed. -> Option A

  4. Quick Check:

    Dynamic + Strong = C [OK]
Quick Trick: Remember Ruby allows type changes but checks type safety [OK]
Common Mistakes:
  • Confusing dynamic with static typing
  • Thinking Ruby allows unsafe type mixing
  • Mixing weak and strong typing concepts
