• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

can you copy and pate the code

def straight_flush (hand:dict{tuple(int,int)}) -> bool:
"""
Check if a hand is a straight flush.

Args:
    hand (list): A list of cards.

Returns:
    bool: True if the hand is a straight flush, False otherwise.

Hey @twin gyro!

Please edit your message to use a code block

You are using the wrong character instead of backticks. Use ```, not """.

[twin gyro]

this is just a section of the code

[sharp yarrow]

bro i dont know

[fickle dew]

For typehints (or well, generics in general), you use [ and ]. dict{...} isn't valid syntax.

[twin gyro]

so what do I need to change it to?

[twilit nova]

delete the space maybe that will fix it

[twin gyro]

it didnt fix it

[fickle dew]

You'd do dict[keytype, valuetype]. Same with tuple, you'd do tuple[type1, type2, ...]. Also, when you are annotating a dictionary, you annotate both the key type and the value type, so yeah.

[neon raven]

is hand supposed to be a dict where the keys are integers and values are integers?

[twin gyro]

yes

[neon raven]

you want hand: dict[int, int] then

the syntax is dict[K, V] where K is the type of keys and V is the type of values

[twin gyro]

oh ok

[wintry ledge]

... Are you sure? Because your docstring shows passing list of two-element tuples, not a dict

[twin gyro]

yeah i think its a list i think im just confused i have been working on this code for too long

[neon raven]

so what is it supposed to be

[twin gyro]

list[tuple[int,int]])

[wintry ledge]

Yeah, if it's a list, then your original typehint was close. Just wrong types of brackets and dict should be list. Now it makes sense why you used tuple

[wintry ledge]

Oh, also args is written to be a list in docstring, not only the examples 😄
