605 PointsExplicit and Implicit types.. (Im just double checking)
Did I get this correctly?
var message : String = "Hello!" //This is an explicit type
var message = "Hello" //This is an implicit type
So an explicit type is when you specify the type, and an implicit type is when you do not?

57,712 PointsYes, I think so.
If you expressly state the type, that's explicit.
If you don't then you are implying the type which is implicit.
