What is Type Hints?
Optional annotations that indicate the expected types of variables, function parameters, and return values.
Type hints (PEP 484) add optional type information to Python code: def greet(name: str) -> str. They do not enforce types at runtime but enable static analysis tools like mypy, IDE autocompletion, and better documentation.
Common types include int, str, List[int], Dict[str, Any], Optional[str], Union[int, str], and Tuple[str, ...]. The typing module provides advanced type constructs.
