Right type? Welcome

Let's try with the right type this time.

Step 1 / 8idle

When the value matches the type, the box opens up and welcomes it in.

The type does not care which number, only that it is a number — 7, 100, or 9.99 all fit.

You can swap a number for another number all day long — the type is happy as long as the family is right.

Think of the type as a contract: "I will hold this kind of value, and only this kind."

When the contract is kept, the program can trust the contents without checking every single time.

Your job, when making a box, is simple — pick the type that matches the family of value it will hold.

Prices → number. Names → text. Yes/no questions → yes/no. Line-ups of items → list.
