+# Python -- Type annotations and static type checking for Python
+## Goal
+We want to use static type checking and type annotations in our Python code for detecting errors we made. We will use the tool mypy for that. 
+
+```python
+a: int = 0
+b: float = 0.0
+a = b     Incompatible types in assignment (expression has type "float", variable has type "int")
+```
