Function argument type in python

Question

Hi

Refer code below:
It has one method which has arg of type int. Why it allows string to be passed as argument

If argument type cannot be provided, why it works with :int in function parenthesis

Answer 1

type annotation is documentation – NOT type checking

Answer 2

Also, Sololearn is not an ide.

A proper ide would give you warnings, or little red squiggly lines.

But yes, it will still be evaluated . Python is dynamically typed. Type annotations is just a way to enable your ide to remind you of the expected types you previously assigned to the variables in your code.
