Now you know that you have to fix it, convert `age` to a string with `str(age)`:

## Declaring types { #declaring-types }

You just saw the main place to declare type hints. As function parameters.

This is also the main place you would use them with **FastAPI**.

### Simple types { #simple-types }

**FastAPI** uses them internally to achieve this.

///

## Dependencies with `yield` and `HTTPException` { #dependencies-with-yield-and-httpexception }

You saw that you can use dependencies with `yield` and have `try` blocks that try to execute some code and then run some exit code after `finally`.

You can also use `except` to catch the exception that was raised and do something with it.

    val elapsedUntilFailure = System.nanoTime() - closeAtNanos
    assertThat(TimeUnit.NANOSECONDS.toMillis(elapsedUntilFailure).toDouble())
      .isCloseTo(500.0, 250.0)

    // Close the server and confirm it saw what we expected.
    server.close(1000, null)
    serverListener.assertClosed(1000, "goodbye")
  }

  @Test
  fun webSocketsDontTriggerEventListener() {
    val eventRecorder = EventRecorder()
    client =

    }
    cache.invalidateAll();
    tasksFinished.await();

    // Check all of the removal notifications we received: they should have had correctly-associated
    // keys and values. (An earlier bug saw removal notifications for in-progress computations,
    // which had real keys with null values.)
    Map<String, String> removalNotifications = new HashMap<>();

## Security - HTTPS { #security-https }

In the [previous chapter about HTTPS](https.md){.internal-link target=_blank} we learned about how HTTPS provides encryption for your API.

We also saw that HTTPS is normally provided by a component **external** to your application server, a **TLS Termination Proxy**.

  //
  // The imaginary `hash` and `next` values are combined into a single `int` value in the `entries`
  // array. The top bits of this value are the remaining bits of the hash value that were not used
  // in the short hash. We saw that a mask of 0x7f would keep the 7-bit value 0x6f from a full
  // hashcode of 0x89abcdef. The imaginary `hash` value would then be the remaining top 25 bits,

It was one of the first implementations of a framework using Python type hints to declare parameters and requests that I ever saw (before NestJS and Molten). I found it more or less at the same time as Hug. But APIStar used the OpenAPI standard.

## Version 5.0.0-alpha.6

_2022-03-14_

 *  Fix: Don't attempt to close pooled connections. We saw occasional fast fallback calls crash in
    the previous alpha due to an unexpected race.
