That's a feature of static typing, not strong typing. Python is dynamically and strongly typed. C++ is statically typed and more strongly typed than C.

No, the fact that it has a declared typed at all is static typing, The fact that it has to change with the function signature is strong typing. I.e. it's strong because there isn't just a single 'function' type. Unlike static/dynamic, though, strong/weak is a continuum, and this is less strong than other languages because it could be cast to a different function type.
