Type Checking | Static (compile-time) | Dynamic (runtime) | Static (compile-time) |
Expression Syntax | Similar (x + y) | Similar (x + y) | Similar (x + y) |

Best Practices
Variables:
Use descriptive names for clarity (e.g., userAge instead of a).
Initialize variables at declaration to avoid undefined behavior.
Limit variable scope to reduce memory usage and prevent unintended access.
Use constants (final in Java) for values that won’t change.
Expressions:
Break complex expressions into smaller parts for readability.
Use parentheses to enforce operator precedence.
Validate inputs to prevent errors (e.g., division by zero).
Avoid side effects in expressions for predictability (e.g., avoid x = x++ + 1).
