Static typing[edit | edit source]
Many programming languages are static. For GDScript, it's entirely optional. Here you will learn how to make your code safer and use static typing.
Staticly typed functions[edit | edit source]
Do not confuse this for static functions.
->void tells Godot the function returns nothing.
-> <type> tells Godot that the function returns <type>. This can be any Object, or any variable type.
Use nothing to hint the function can return anything.
Arguments can also be made static: argument: <type>
Statically typed variables[edit | edit source]
var variable: <type> = <something or null> simple. That's it.
You can also use var variable := <something> to automatically use whatever "something" is.
