!!! tip
    If you use Python 3.9 or above, you don't have to import `List` from `typing`, you can use the same regular `list` type instead.

By doing that, your editor can provide support even while processing items from the list:

Without types, that's almost impossible to achieve.

Notice that the variable `item` is one of the elements in the list `items`.
