类型安全意味着可以分配给程序变量的值集必须符合定义良好且可测试的标准。类型安全变量导致程序更加健壮，因为操作变量的算法可以相信变量只接受定义良好的一组值中的一个。保持这种信任可以确保数据和程序的完整性和质量。

For many variables, the set of values that may be assigned to a variable is defined at the time the program is written. For example, a variable called "colour" may be allowed to take on the values "red", "green", or "blue" and never any other values. For other variables those criteria may change at run-time. For example, a variable called "colour" may only be allowed to take on values in the "name" column of a "Colours" table in a relational database, where "red, "green", and "blue", are three values for "name" in the "Colours" table, but some other part of the computer program may be able to add to that list while the program is running, and the variable can take on the new values after they are added to the Colours table.

Many type-safe languages give the illusion of "type-safety" by insisting on strictly defining types for variables and only allowing a variable to be assigned values of the same "type". There are a couple of problems with this approach. For example, a program may have a variable "yearOfBirth" which is the year a person was born, and it is tempting to type-cast it as a short integer. However, it is not a short integer. This year, it is a number that is less than 2009 and greater than -10000. However, this set grows by 1 every year as the program runs. Making this a "short int" is not adequate. What is needed to make this variable type-safe is a run-time validation function that ensures that the number is always greater than -10000 and less than the next calendar year. There is no compiler that can enforce such criteria because these criteria are always unique characteristics of the problem domain.

Languages that use dynamic typing (or duck-typing, or manifest typing) such as Perl, Python, Ruby, SQLite, and Lua don't have the notion of typed variables. This forces the programmer to write a run-time validation routine for every variable to ensure that it is correct, or endure the consequences of unexplained run-time exceptions. In my experience, programmers in statically typed languages such as C, C++, Java, and C# are often lulled into thinking that statically defined types is all they need to do to get the benefits of type-safety. This is simply not true for many useful computer programs, and it is hard to predict if it is true for any particular computer program.

长和短....您需要类型安全吗?如果是，那么编写运行时函数来确保当变量被赋值时，它符合定义良好的标准。缺点是它使域分析对于大多数计算机程序来说非常困难，因为您必须显式地为每个程序变量定义标准。

类型安全意味着在编程上，变量、返回值或参数的数据类型必须符合特定的标准。

实际上，这意味着7(整数类型)不同于"7"(字符串类型的引号字符)。

PHP, Javascript和其他动态脚本语言通常是弱类型的，因为它们将转换(字符串)如果您尝试将“7”+ 3添加为“7”到(整数)7，尽管有时您必须显式地这样做(Javascript使用“+”字符进行连接)。

C/ c++ /Java不会理解，或者会将结果连接到“73”中。类型安全通过明确类型需求来防止代码中出现这些类型的错误。

类型安全非常有用。上述“7”+ 3的解决方案是类型转换(int)7 + 3(等于10)。

“类型安全”的编程语言意味着以下几点:

不能从未初始化的变量中读取 数组的索引不能超出它们的边界 不能执行未检查的类型强制转换

类型安全的代码只访问它被授权访问的内存位置，并且只能以定义良好的、允许的方式访问。 类型安全代码不能在对象上执行对该对象无效的操作。c#和VB。NET语言编译器总是生成类型安全的代码，这些代码在JIT编译期间被验证为类型安全的。

来自文科专业而不是计算机科学专业的解释:

当人们说一种语言或语言特性是类型安全的时，他们的意思是该语言将有助于防止，例如，将非整数的东西传递给某个期望整数的逻辑。

例如，在c#中，我将一个函数定义为:

 void foo(int arg)

编译器会阻止我这样做:

  // call foo
  foo("hello world")

在其他语言中，编译器不会阻止我(或者没有编译器…)，所以字符串将被传递给逻辑，然后可能会发生一些不好的事情。

类型安全语言试图在“编译时”捕获更多。

缺点是，使用类型安全语言，当你有一个像“123”这样的字符串，你想像整型一样对它进行操作时，你必须写更多的代码来将字符串转换为整型，或者当你有一个像123这样的整型，并且想在一个像“答案是123”这样的消息中使用它时，你必须写更多的代码来将它转换/强制转换为字符串。
