Basic Examples  (1)

Typed can be used to mark the suggested type of function arguments:

For computation in the Wolfram Engine, the use of Typed is advisory:

FunctionCompile uses Typed for inferencing the types of code:

If the argument of a CompiledCodeFunction matches the declared type, the computation proceeds:

If the type of an argument does not match the declared type, an error results:

Possible Issues  (1)

Use in Evaluated Code  (1)

Typed can be used in the body of a function:

When compiled, it is used to guide the type inferencing process:

However, when evaluated, Typed is treated as an inert expression:

It is better to use TypeHint in the body of a function:

When compiled, it is used to guide the type inferencing process:

However, when evaluated, TypeHint is stripped out:
