value, but the calling code passed a floating-point value, then the wrong result will be computed by the invoked function.

The C compiler checks the types of the arguments passed to a function when it is called against the types of the parameters declared in the function's definition. If the types do not match, the compiler throws a compile-time error or warning.

A compiler may also use the static type of a value to optimize the storage it needs
