In "static typing"

there is a coding example which should demonstrate how typos impact difficult to detect mistakes. But actually the example is a correct program. I did not see the type referred to in the text and I even run the example in the console. The software is correct not wrong. The example in the book is this:

my_variable = 0

while my_variable < 10:
my_variable = my_variable + 1 # Typo! Infinite loop!

That is *not* an infinite loop.

Note from the Author or Editor:
The error in this code was apparently corrected in the editorial process. It should read something along the lines of:

my_variable = 0

while my_variable < 10:
my_varaible = my_variable + 1 # Typo! Infinite loop!
