Em ambos os casos, isso significa que `item` poderia ser um `int` ou um `str`.

#### Possivelmente `None` { #possibly-none }

Você pode declarar que um valor pode ter um tipo, como `str`, mas que ele também pode ser `None`.

No Python 3.6 e superior (incluindo o Python 3.10) você pode declará-lo importando e utilizando `Optional` do módulo `typing`.

/// note

FastAPI will know that the value of `q` is not required because of the default value `= None`.

The `str | None` (Python 3.10+) or `Union` in `Union[str, None]` (Python 3.9+) is not used by FastAPI to determine that the value is not required, it will know it's not required because it has a default value of `= None`.

But adding the type annotations will allow your editor to give you better support and detect errors.
