Question

Do you guys prefer your variables with a type, like c++, or without, like python?

e.g. c++ int i = 5;
e.g. python i = 5;

Answer 1

I prefer Vb.net variable Declaration.
Dim var1 as Integer
var1=5

Answer 2

I prefer the type, seems more optimal. Declaring the type allows the compiler to know how much memory may be used at runTime. Also, error checking be ezpz.

ps: You don't have to declare a type in c++, you can use auto:
auto a = 5; // int
or
auto b = "test"; // string

Answer 3

Well, i code in Javascript i can afford both 😀

Answer 4

yea sometimes its easier to just say var = "hello";

but sometimes i think putting the specific data type is better for code debugging and maintaining
