Both of those versions mean the same thing, `q` is a parameter that can be a `str` or `None`, and by default, it is `None`.

Now let's jump to the fun stuff. 🎉

## Add `Query` to `Annotated` in the `q` parameter { #add-query-to-annotated-in-the-q-parameter }

Now that we have this `Annotated` where we can put more information (in this case some additional validation), add `Query` inside of `Annotated`, and set the parameter `max_length` to `50`:

If you want to:

...Python has a little special syntax for that.

Pass `*`, as the first parameter of the function.

### Declare a *path parameter* { #declare-a-path-parameter }

Then create a *path parameter* with a type annotation using the enum class you created (`ModelName`):

{* ../../docs_src/path_params/tutorial005_py310.py hl[16] *}

### Check the docs { #check-the-docs }

Because the available values for the *path parameter* are predefined, the interactive docs can show them nicely:

    /** URL parameter associated with the error */
    public String url;

    /** Number of results parameter */
    public String num;

    /** Sort order parameter for search results */
    public String sort;

    /** Language parameter for search interface */
    public String lang;

    /**
     * Default constructor for ErrorForm.
     */
    public ErrorForm() {
        super();
    }
