A type system is a syntactic method for automatically checking the absence of certain erroneous behaviors by classifying program phrases according to the kinds of values they compute. The study of type systems–and of programming languages from a type-theoretic perspective – -has important applications in software engineering, language design, high-performance compilers, and security.
