# Introductie tot Python Types

Python biedt ondersteuning voor optionele "type hints" (ook wel "type annotaties" genoemd).

Deze **"type hints"** of annotaties zijn een speciale syntax waarmee het <abbr title="bijvoorbeeld: str, int, float, bool">type</abbr> van een variabele kan worden gedeclareerd.

Door types voor je variabelen te declareren, kunnen editors en hulpmiddelen je beter ondersteunen.

## Number validations: floats, greater than and less than

Number validations also work for `float` values.
