Dynamically typed languages
Dynamically typed languages don't require type declarations, but also don't infer types. The types of variables aren't known at all until they have concrete values at runtime. For example, the Python function
def f(x, y):
return x + y
can add integers, concatenate strings, concatenate lists, etc., and we can't tell which will happen without running the program. Maybe f will be called with strings at one point and integers at another point, in which case x and y hold values of different types at different times. This is why we say that values in dynamic languages have types, but variables and functions don't. The value 1 is definitely an integer, but x and y above might be anything.
