🔒 Shorter way to tell function what type multiple arguments are

[drowsy rampart]

Hello! I was wondering if there is a better way than what I'm doing here, as the line is quite long. Thanks!

def randomRectanglePositionsInBoard(rectWidth : int, rectHeight : int, rectAmmount : int, boardWidth : int, boardHeight : int) -> list[list[int]]:
    """
    Returns a list of coordinates [x,y], that are the top-left corners of found valid rectangles
    """
    while True:
        coordinates = []
        for _ in range(rectAmmount):
            ...

Remember to:

• 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.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

nope, and that's my really enough arguments to be a code smell, you're good

You can always use whitespace to your advantage 🙂

def randomRectanglePositionsInBoard(
  rectWidth : int, 
  rectHeight : int, 
  rectAmmount : int, 
  boardWidth : int, 
  boardHeight : int
) -> list[list[int]]:

If you ever get yourself a formatter like black or ruff, then you can customize it and let it decide.

I'd get rid of the spaces before the colons. Spaces there aren't typical.

And ya, I was about to post that exact code that Tekgar posted. I don't think that's necessary here yet though, personally

Thanks guys 😄
