We create an async function `lifespan()` with `yield` like this:

{* ../../docs_src/events/tutorial003.py hl[16,19] *}

Here we are simulating the expensive *startup* operation of loading the model by putting the (fake) model function in the dictionary with machine learning models before the `yield`. This code will be executed **before** the application **starts taking requests**, during the *startup*.

        end = srcIndex + this.rDataLength;
        /*
         * Apparently readRDataWireFormat can return 0 if resultCode != 0 in
         * which case this will look indefinitely. Putting this else clause around
         * the loop might fix that. But I would need to see a capture to confirm.
         * if (resultCode != 0) {
         * srcIndex += rDataLength;
         * } else {
         */

        addrEntry = new NbtAddress[rDataLength / 6];

### `Union` in Python 3.10

In this example we pass `Union[PlaneItem, CarItem]` as the value of the argument `response_model`.

Because we are passing it as a **value to an argument** instead of putting it in a **type annotation**, we have to use `Union` even in Python 3.10.

If it was in a type annotation we could have used the vertical bar, as:

```Python
some_variable: PlaneItem | CarItem
```

    public EntryComparator(@Nullable Comparator<? super K> keyComparator) {
      this.keyComparator = keyComparator;
    }

    @Override
    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") // no less safe than putting it in the map!
    public int compare(Entry<K, V> a, Entry<K, V> b) {
      return (keyComparator == null)
          ? ((Comparable) a.getKey()).compareTo(b.getKey())
          : keyComparator.compare(a.getKey(), b.getKey());

  for (i in 0 until length) {
    val c = this[i]
    if (c <= '\u001f' || c >= '\u007f') {
      return i
    }
  }
  return -1
}

## Alternative (old): `Query` as the default value

Previous versions of FastAPI (before <abbr title="before 2023-03">0.95.0</abbr>) required you to use `Query` as the default value of your parameter, instead of putting it in `Annotated`, there's a high chance that you will see code using it around, so I'll explain it to you.
