dynamically typed

   <programming> Enforcement of type rules at {run time} as
   opposed to {compile time}.  Dynamic typing catches more errors
   as run-time exceptions than {static typing}.

   {Tcl}, {Perl}, {PHP}, {Python} and {Visual Basic} are examples
   of dynamically typed languages.  A dynamically typed language
   may have {strong typing} or {weak typing}.
