#### Union

You can declare that a variable can be any of **several types**, for example, an `int` or a `str`.

In Python 3.6 and above (including Python 3.10) you can use the `Union` type from `typing` and put inside the square brackets the possible types to accept.

	if !globalCallhomeConfig.Enabled() {
		return
	}

	go func() {
		r := rand.New(rand.NewSource(time.Now().UnixNano()))
		// Leader node (that successfully acquires the lock inside runCallhome)
		// will keep performing the callhome. If the leader goes down for some reason,
		// the lock will be released and another node will acquire it and take over
		// because of this loop.
		for {

       * fields, on x86_32) under the Hotspot server compiler. The reason is obviously that the
       * non-final fields need to be reloaded inside the loop.
       *
       * And, no, defining (final or not) local variables out of the loop still isn't as good
       * because the null check on the theUnsafe object remains inside the loop and
       * BYTE_ARRAY_BASE_OFFSET doesn't get constant-folded.
       *

    !!! tip
        Prefer to use the `Annotated` version if possible.

    ```Python hl_lines="1  2  12-16"
    {!> ../../../docs_src/extra_data_types/tutorial001.py!}
    ```

Note that the parameters inside the function have their natural data type, and you can, for example, perform normal date manipulations, like:

=== "Python 3.10+"

    ```Python hl_lines="18-19"

!!! note "Technical Details"
    This only happens when you install using this included `requirements.txt` instead of running `pip install fastapi` directly.

    That is because inside the `requirements.txt` file, the local version of FastAPI is marked to be installed in "editable" mode, with the `-e` option.

### Format the code

There is a script that you can run that will format and clean all your code:

You can use `async def` or normal `def`.

And you can declare dependencies with `async def` inside of normal `def` *path operation functions*, or `def` dependencies inside of `async def` *path operation functions*, etc.

It doesn't matter. **FastAPI** will know what to do.

!!! note

    But this example is still valid and it shows how to interact with the internal components.

We can also use this same approach to access the request body in an exception handler.

All we need to do is handle the request inside a `try`/`except` block:

```Python hl_lines="13  15"
{!../../../docs_src/custom_request_and_route/tutorial002.py!}
```
