What is the purpose of strong typing in C#?

Senior C#
Quick Answer Strong typing means the compiler knows the exact type of every variable and enforces compatible usage. You cannot accidentally pass a string where an int is expected. This catches entire categories of bugs at compile time instead of runtime and enables better IDE tooling and optimization.

Answer

Strong typing ensures variables are used only in compatible ways, preventing runtime type errors and enabling better compiler optimization.
