This notebook explores how and when to use Python’s type annotations to enhance your code.

Lines of code that are feature-specific to versions 3.9 and 3.10 will be annotated accordingly. IMPORTANT: Type annotations only need to be done on the first occurrence of a variable’s name in a scope. Python Type Annotations, also known as type signatures or “type hints”, are a way to indicate the intended data types associated with variable names. In addition to writing more readable, understandable, and maintainable code, type annotations can also be used by static type checkers like mypy to verify type consistency and to catch programming errors before they are found the traditional way, at runtime. It should be noted that type annotations create no new logic at runtime and thus are designed to generate nearly zero runtime overhead, so there’s no risk o
