What is strong typing in Python?

Answer

Clear, interview-ready explanation

Strong typing means that Python generally does not automatically convert unrelated or incompatible data types during an operation.

For example, Python cannot directly add an integer to a string:

age = 25
message = "Age: " + age
            

This produces a TypeError.

The integer must be explicitly converted into a string:

age = 25
message = "Age: " + str(age)

print(message)
            

Output:

Age: 25
            

Dynamic typing and strong typing are different concepts. Python is dynamically typed because types are checked at runtime, and strongly typed because incompatible types usually require explicit conversion.
