Having the return model ensure that a value is always available and always `int` (not `None`) is very useful for the API clients, they can write much simpler code having this certainty.

Also, **automatically generated clients** will have simpler interfaces, so that the developers communicating with your API can have a much better time working with your API. 😎

   * Annotates a method to be the instance generator of a certain type. The return type is the
   * generated type. The method parameters correspond to the generated type's type parameters. For
   * example, if the annotated method returns {@code Map<K, V>}, the method signature should be:

   * ranges {@code [3..3)} and {@code [4..4)}.

   * range set (such as {@code ImmutableRangeSet.of(Range.greaterThan(0))}). Certain operations on
   * such a set can be performed efficiently, but others (such as {@link Set#hashCode} or {@link

In most cases, when you create a web API, you want it to be **always running**, uninterrupted, so that your clients can always access it. This is of course, unless you have a specific reason why you want it to run only in certain situations, but most of the time you want it constantly running and **available**.
