Hi,
I am reading the book "Concepts of programming languages" by R. W.
Sebesta. He said:
"One of the most important reasons why C is both liked and disliked is
its lack of complete type checking. For example, functions can be
written for which parameters are not type checked. Those who like C
appreciate the flexibility; those who do not like it find it too insecure."
Could you explain this to me with more detail? The book doesn't give any
more explanation. Thank you very much. I greatly apprecite it.
