| A
programming language that does not
require a variable to be defined.
For example, Perl is a loosely typed
language, you can declare a variable
but do not need to specify the type of variable. In the below
example the first line declares the $test variable that can be used
as an integer or
string. my $test;
$test = 1; #Test variable is a integer.
$test = "hello"; #Test variable used as a string.
The opposite of a loosely typed languages is a
strongly typed language, such as
C.
