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;

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

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
