Using these `dependencies` in the *path operation decorator* you can make sure they are executed while avoiding editor/tooling errors.

It might also help avoid confusion for new developers that see an unused parameter in your code and could think it's unnecessary.

In this example we use invented custom headers `X-Key` and `X-Token`.

So, in our example, we can make `tags` be specifically a "list of strings":

{* ../../docs_src/body_nested_models/tutorial002_py310.py hl[12] *}

## Set types { #set-types }

But then we think about it, and realize that tags shouldn't repeat, they would probably be unique strings.

And Python has a special data type for sets of unique items, the `set`.

Then we can declare `tags` as a set of strings:

I think `Union[SomeType, None]` is more explicit about what it means.

It's just about the words and names. But those words can affect how you and your teammates think about the code.

As an example, let's take this function:

{* ../../docs_src/python_types/tutorial009c.py hl[1,4] *}

In previous versions of NodeJS / Browser JavaScript, you would have used "callbacks". Which leads to "callback hell".

## Coroutines { #coroutines }

{* ../../docs_src/dependencies/tutorial001_an_py310.py hl[8:9] *}

That's it.

**2 lines**.

And it has the same shape and structure that all your *path operation functions* have.

You can think of it as a *path operation function* without the "decorator" (without the `@app.get("/some-path")`).

And it can return anything you want.

In this case, this dependency expects:
