What to do with the languages where this contract violation is always detected at compile time per language design? The task requires to show a way to circumvent the contract that explicitly states that the object x does not support the method f. In a strongly typed language this is impossible to do, which is basically the whole idea of design by contract. Should such languages be mentioned as having no solution? --Dmitry-kazakov 18:56, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

That means they are statically defined without means for dynamic type resolution, so omit. --Paddy3118 19:45, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
