What to use for finding as many syntax errors as possible.

[Weatherby,Gerard]

Sure it does. They’re optional and not enforced at runtime, but I find them useful when writing code in PyCharm:

import os
from os import DirEntry

de : DirEntry
for de in os.scandir('/tmp'):
    print(de.name)

de = 7
print(de)

Predeclaring de allows me to do the tab completion thing with DirEntry fields / methods

Michael,

A reasonable question. Python lets you initialize variables but has no
explicit declarations.
