### Create the `Settings` object { #create-the-settings-object }

Import `BaseSettings` from Pydantic and create a sub-class, very much like with a Pydantic model.

The same way as with Pydantic models, you declare class attributes with type annotations, and possibly default values.

    assertThat((long) arraysDim1 * arraysDim2).isNotEqualTo((long) (arraysDim1 * arraysDim2));

    byte[][] arrays = new byte[arraysDim1][];
    // it's shared to avoid using too much memory in tests
    byte[] sharedArray = new byte[arraysDim2];
    Arrays.fill(arrays, sharedArray);

    try {
      Bytes.concat(arrays);
      fail();
    } catch (IllegalArgumentException expected) {

 * <p>Unlike {@code java.util.HashMap}, iteration is only proportional to the actual {@code size()},
 * which is optimal, and <i>not</i> the size of the internal hashtable, which could be much larger
 * than {@code size()}. Furthermore, this structure places significantly reduced load on the garbage
 * collector by only using a constant number of internal objects.

FastAPI does several things internally with Pydantic to make sure that those same rules of class inheritance are not used for the returned data filtering, otherwise you could end up returning much more data than what you expected.

This way, you can get the best of both worlds: type annotations with **tooling support** and **data filtering**.

First of all, be nice. 😊

You probably are super nice if you were added to the team, but it's worth mentioning it. 🤓

### When Things are Difficult

When things are great, everything is easier, so that doesn't need much instructions. But when things are difficult, here are some guidelines.

   * ```
   *
   * But this chain is wrong because the attackerSwitch certificate is being used in a CA role even
   * though it is not a CA certificate. There are pinned certificates in the chain! The correct
   * chain is much shorter because it skips the non-CA certificate.
   *
   * ```
   *   attackerCa
   *     -> attackerIntermediate
   *         -> phonyVictim
   * ```
   *
