Errata in Day 5: Variables

This is more of an errata for the newsletter contents, but I couldn't find a repository for the source of that, so adding it here. The particular paragraph that is erroneous is this one:

One key difference between strongly typed languages like C and loosely typed languages like Python lies in how you declare variables. In strongly typed languages like C, you must explicitly define the data type of each variable. Loosely typed languages, however, can infer the data type based on how the variable is used. Rust, while being strongly typed and compiled, adopts a slightly different approach. Let's try this example

• This mentions strongly v/s loosely typed languages, but I think the correct term here would be statically v/s dynamically typed which is not synonymous with strongly/loosely typed.
• It also mentions that Python is a loosely typed language, which is not correct. Being loosely typed is to not adhere to the type (whether statically specified or dynamically interpreted), which Python does follow pretty strictly. So, if anything, Python is a strongly typed (but dynamically typed) language.

I hope you'd consider making these changes, thank you :)
