Perry,

I do know that the compiler checks for you, but I did not know it was build in the IDE as well. But again, this is feature is not restricted to static typed languages. I can be implemented in dynamic typed languages as well.

The discussions about static typed languages was mainly about this misconception. Compile and code time checking can be done in both static and dynamic typed languages.

Walter,
