Difference between “var” and “dynamic” type in Dart?

Question

According to this article:

As you might know, dynamic (as it is now called) is the stand-in type when a static type annotation is not provide

Answer 1

Both in dynamic and var,the variable can hold data of any data type, i.e., int , float,string,etc

If a variable is declared as a dynamic and if even initialised, its type can change over time.Try this code in https://dartpad.dev/

void main() {
  dynamic x = 'abc';
  x = 12345;
  print(x);

}

If you declare variable as a var, once assigned type can not change.

void main() {
  var x = 'abc';
  x = 12345;
  print(x);
}

The above code will result in the error stating that A value of type 'int' can't be assigned to a variable of type 'String' - line 3

BUT, if you state a var without initializing, it becomes a dynamic:

void main() {
  var x ;
  x = 'abc';
  x=12345;
  print(x);
}
