Implicit Typing

Definitions

1. A language feature where the compiler infers the type of a variable from its initializer or context, allowing developers to omit explicit type annotations. Seen as 'var' in C#, 'val' in Kotlin, and 'auto' in C++.

   In plain English: Letting the compiler figure out what type a variable is based on what you assign to it, so you don't have to write it out yourself.

   Example: "Using var doesn't make C# dynamically typed — the compiler still knows the exact type, you just didn't write it."
