Closures in statically typed languages. Most languages that implement closures are dynamically typed. It is a challenge to implement closures in a statically typed language. Explain why, and cover attempts to mix the two. Consider also closures and static scoping, as in Scheme.
Introduction
statically vs dynamically typed
One simple way to differentiate between the two is:
In statically typed languages,type checking is done at the compile time where as in dynamically typed languages, type checking is done at run-time.
Examples of statically typed : C,C++,Java,JADA,Pascal etc
Examples of dynamically typed : PHP,Prolog,Python,Ruby,Small talk etc.[1]
