⚙️ `Optional[str]` ↩️ `str` 🔜 ➡️ 👨‍🎨 ℹ 👆 🔍 ❌ 🌐❔ 👆 💪 🤔 👈 💲 🕧 `str`, 🕐❔ ⚫️ 💪 🤙 `None` 💁‍♂️.

`Optional[Something]` 🤙 ⌨ `Union[Something, None]`, 👫 🌓.

👉 ⛓ 👈 🐍 3️⃣.1️⃣0️⃣, 👆 💪 ⚙️ `Something | None`:

* `skip=20`: because you set it in the URL
* `limit=10`: because that was the default value

## Optional parameters { #optional-parameters }

The same way, you can declare optional query parameters, by setting their default to `None`:

{* ../../docs_src/query_params/tutorial002_py310.py hl[7] *}

In this case, the function parameter `q` will be optional, and will be `None` by default.

/// check

        return versionRange.isSelectedVersionKnown(this);
    }

    @Override
    public void setOptional(boolean optional) {
        this.optional = optional;
    }

* `skip=20`: da Sie das in der URL gesetzt haben
* `limit=10`: weil das der Defaultwert ist

## Optionale Parameter

Auf die gleiche Weise können Sie optionale Query-Parameter deklarieren, indem Sie deren Defaultwert auf `None` setzen:

{* ../../docs_src/query_params/tutorial002_py310.py hl[7] *}

In diesem Fall wird der Funktionsparameter `q` optional, und standardmäßig `None` sein.

/// check

            .addValue(Collections.emptyMap())
            .addValue(null)
            .add(SHORT_NAME, Optional.of("1"))
            .add(LONG_NAME, Optional.of("1"))
            .add(SHORT_NAME, Optional.absent())
            .add(LONG_NAME, Optional.absent())
            .add(SHORT_NAME, Optional.of("2"))
            .add(SHORT_NAME, Optional.absent())
            .addValue(null)
            .add(SHORT_NAME, new int[] {1})

    checkNotNull(valueComparator);
    return Comparator.<Optional<T>, @Nullable T>comparing(
        o -> orElseNull(o), Comparator.nullsLast(valueComparator));
  }

  // For discussion of why this exists, see the Android flavor.
  private static <T> @Nullable T orElseNull(Optional<T> optional) {
    return optional.orElse(null);
  }

#### Using `Union` or `Optional` { #using-union-or-optional }

If you are using a Python version below 3.10, here's a tip from my very **subjective** point of view:

* 🚨 Avoid using `Optional[SomeType]`
* Instead ✨ **use `Union[SomeType, None]`** ✨.
