Type inference — Type inference, or implicit typing, refers to the ability to deduce automatically the type of a value in a programming language. It is a feature present in some strongly statically typed languages. It is often characteristic of but not limited to … Wikipedia
Type polymorphism — In computer science, polymorphism is a programming language feature that allows values of different data types to be handled using a uniform interface. The concept of parametric polymorphism applies to both data types and functions. A function… … Wikipedia

Type signature — is a term that is used in computer programming.A type signature defines the inputs and outputs for a function or method. A type signature includes at least the function name and the number of its parameters. In some programming languages, it may… … Wikipedia

Type class — In computer science, a type class is a type system construct that supports ad hoc polymorphism. This is achieved by adding constraints to type variables in parametrically polymorphic types. Such a constraint typically involves a type class T and… … Wikipedia

Algebraic data type — In computer programming, particularly functional programming and type theory, an algebraic data type (sometimes also called a variant type[1]) is a datatype each of whose values is data from other datatypes wrapped in one of the constructors of… … Wikipedia
Void type — The void type, in several programming languages derived from C and Algol68, is the type for the result of a function that produces no direct result. Usually such functions are called for their side effects, much like subroutines in Visual Basic… … Wikipedia
