Mastering Java: The Ultimate Quiz for 'Thinking in Java'

Latent typing typically refers to a type system where types are associated with values rather than variables, making it possible to apply a method to any object within a collection. Options A, B, and D do not accurately describe this type of typing and may be related to other aspects of typing such as flexibility or enforceability. Static typing involves defining types for variables at compile time, dynamic typing allows for flexibility in assigning types at run time, and strong typing enforces strict type checking and prevents mixing of different types. These types of typing systems are not as suitable for easily applying a method to all objects in a collection.
