[Solved] unkown (to me) function def parm "name1:name2" syntax. - MvGulik - Nov-11-2022
I came across a function definition (inside a class) which has a "
name1: name2" part.def func(self, name1: name2):Has that "
name1: name2" syntax a name? (general searching is a bit tricky on this one)And I guess: Any particular reasons/benefits for using it.
In case it might matter (probably not). Its used in some python script that is used within an otherwise Java environment.

Is
name2 a type, like int or str? This looks like type annotations

Right.
Not sure in that case what else it could have been.

After reading up on type annotations. I think I get the basics of it.
Additional type-check info/syntax for (in this case) the main Java-application that is processing these user script.
Thanks
