It’s a feature of a programming language that usually, but not always, requires you to declare what sort of data everything is (this is a number, this is text, this is a person object I made, etc.). Then you are required to run your program through a program called a compiler before you are allowed to run it, to (among other things) make sure that everything is what you said it was.
Basically, it requires you to be extra pedantic, but some say it catches common errors. But imo these are the sort of errors that only come up because you have tons of people working on one project.
