define not working

[strange valve]

when i put ".split" it doesnt light up yellow, which implies it it a string method. it stays white

[echo wyvern]

because the type of url is unknown

(and that's why i like type annotations)

[strange valve]

so i have to complete my code before it can be requested?

this is a dumb class im taking that is a intro to python and the book does not follow with the labs, so i have been struggglingggg

[plucky kindle]

it doesn't have to light up in your editor in order for the code to work

[echo wyvern]

you either ignore it and it doesn't change color.
or you annotate the function

ok i be back if anything , thnks guys

[kind forum]

def validate_url(url:str):
   pass```

adding the :str after parameter url tells your editor that it's expecting a string

therefore you can see string's methods such as split

[devout hatch]

note that the interpreter doesn't enforce this. Nothing stops you from passing a non-str
