untyped collections
[ʌnˈtaɪpt kəˈlɛkʃənz]
noun
coleções não tipadas
1. Collections in programming that can hold elements of any data type without explicit type specification, lacking compile-time type checking
In older versions of Java, ArrayList was an untyped collection that could store objects of any type.
Em versões antigas do Java, ArrayList era uma coleção não tipada que podia armazenar objetos de qualquer tipo.
2. Data structures that do not enforce type constraints on their elements, potentially leading to runtime errors
Working with untyped collections can increase the risk of type-related bugs at runtime.
Trabalhar com coleções não tipadas pode aumentar o risco de erros relacionados a tipos em tempo de execução.
This is a technical term primarily used in software development and computer science contexts. It became less common after the introduction of generics in Java 5 (2004) and similar features in other languages, which encouraged the use of typed collections for better code reliability and maintainability.
