Type Hints

What are Type Hints?โ€‹

Python is a dynamically typed language, but type hints can help clarify the intent of your code.

# Without type hints
def greet(name):
return f"Hello, {name}!"

# With type hints
def greet(name: str) -> str:
return f"Hello, {name}!"

# Advantages
# 1. Improved readability
# 2. IDE autocompletion support
# 3. Static analysis tool utilization
# 4. Early bug detection

# โš ๏ธ Warning: No runtime check!
result = greet(123) # Runs without error
print(result) # Hello, 123!
