Great Information! JavaScript supports dynamic typing where the type and the variable can be defined anytime in the program. For example, you do not have to define variable ‘c’ type (integer, float, etc) during compile type. You could do that even during the run-time as well. I have taken this reference from this [post](https://www.interviewbit.com/blog/difference-between-java-and-javascript/).

The article is very informative, I didn't know Dart was a type of JavaScript.

Really good read, thanks for sharing 👍

Thanks for the kind words 💖🙏 and thanks for reading [Favourite Jome](https://hashnode.com/@Favourite).

Yeah, I had no deal that dart was a type of Javascript until I saw it on Wikipedia 😄.

Guess there's so much more to Javascript than meets the eyes. 😅
