A programmer wants a compiler to report an error if an integer variable is assigned with a string. Which kind of language should the programmer use?

The correct choice is a statically typed language because this type of language requires that variable types be declared at compile time. In a statically typed language, the compiler checks the types of variables during the compilation process. If an integer variable is assigned a string, the compiler will detect this mismatch and raise an error before the program is executed. This type of type-checking helps to catch errors early in the development process, enhancing reliability and reducing runtime errors.

On the other hand, dynamically typed languages do not enforce type checking until the program is run, allowing for more flexibility but also increasing the risk of type-related errors at runtime. Interpreted languages may or may not be statically or dynamically typed, as interpretation refers to how the code is executed rather than how types are handled. Markup languages, such as HTML or XML, don’t involve type checking for variables in the same way programming languages do; they are primarily used for data presentation rather than computation and logic.
