        I think you mean "statically typed". C# and Java are statically- 
typed; Python is dynamically-typed. "Strong" typing simply means that  
you cannot mix different types; Javascript is notoriously weakly  
typed: "1" + 7 = "17". Such statements in strongly-typed languages  
would throw errors.

        See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_system for more detail.
