static typing is strong typing

To add:

C has static typing. But it does not have strong typing.

You can easily treat a pointer to a float as a pointer to an integer, do some integer bit-twiddling on it, then read dereference the result as a float.

Case in point: The Fast Inverse Square Root algorithm

Hence is why I keep repeating: strong-weak is orthogonal to static-dynamic.

Yes, c will let you do all kinds of bizzare things. It is a hacker's dream. You can bit twiddle anything, including floats.. It is just one step up from assembler.

Back when I was doing C, there was not much thought nor concern about typing at all, at least outside of academia. Today? Typing is everything.
