Basic Types

To add a type hint to a variable declaration, put a colon after the variable name, then the type. This comes before the equals sign and the value:

character_name: str = "Sir Galahad"
character_level: int = 7
character_health: float = 72.5
has_magic: bool = True

The values work the exact same way they did before. In fact, when it comes to simple variable declarations like this, you don't actually need the hint. In this example:

character_health = 72.5

Because character_health is assigned a value of 72.5, your tooling can infer that it's a float. That said, if you also want to see the type name, you can optionally add it.

Assignment

Fantasy Quest's character setup code works, but the variable types are wrong! Notice that our code editor's tooling gives us nice red squiggles to show us the mistakes.

Fix the type hints for each variable.

character_name should be a str
character_level should be an int
character_health should be a float
has_magic should be a bool

Don't change the values. Just fix the type hints, as the tests will fail without them.
