# 04. Dynamic Typing, Duck Typing & Python 3.12 Strict Type Hinting

> Python 0-to-Hero Notes by Rishabh - Topic 04

---

### 1. Duck Typing ("If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...") 🦆

Python me object ka explicit class type matter nahi karta; uske paas required methods aur attributes hone chahiye:

```python
class Duck:
    def quack(self): print("Quack quack!")

class Robot:
    def quack(self): print("Robotic quack 0101!")

def make_it_quack(animal):
    animal.quack() # Duck typing: Works for both!
```

---

### 2. Python 3.12+ Modern Type Hinting (`typing` module)

```python
from typing import Annotated, TypeAlias
from collections.abc import Callable

# Python 3.12 Type Parameter Syntax (PEP 695):
type Point[T] = tuple[T, T]
type DatabaseRow = dict[str, str | int | None]

def fetch_user_data(user_id: int) -> DatabaseRow:
    return {"id": user_id, "name": "Rishabh", "role": "Architect"}
```

### 3. Interview Ke 3 Sawal Is Topic Se

1. **Python type hints runtime par types enforce karte hain kya?** -> Nahi! Type hints purely static analysis (Mypy / Pyright / IDE) ke liye hote hain; runtime par Python dynamically execute hota hai unless Pydantic / Beartype used.
2. **`Protocol` (PEP 544 - Structural Subtyping) ABC se kaise different hai?** -> Abstract Base Classes me explicit inheritance (`class X(MyABC)`) lagti hai; `Protocol` static duck typing allow karta hai bina explicit subclassing ke.
3. **`TypeVar` vs Python 3.12 `type GenericClass[T]` syntax me kya benefit hai?** -> Boilerplate reduce karta hai aur clean generic definitions provide karta hai.
