 | | Statically typed languages can be further subdivided into languages with manifest types, where each variable and function declaration has its type explicitly declared, and type-inferred languages. |
 | | With statically typed languages, there usually are pre-defined types for individual pieces of data (such as numbers within a certain range, strings of letters, etc.), and programmatically named values (variables) can have only one fixed type, and allow only certain operations: numbers cannot change into names and vice versa. |
 | | Most mainstream statically typed languages, such as C, C++, C#, Java and Delphi, require all types to be specified explicitly; advocates argue that this makes the program easier to understand, detractors object to the verbosity it produces. |
