| Typed dictionaries have the syntax ``Array[KeyType, ValueType]``, where ``KeyType`` and ``ValueType`` | ||
| can be any ``Variant`` type, native or user class, or enum. Both the key and value type **must** be specified, | ||
| but you can use ``Variant`` to make either of them untyped. | ||
| Nested dictionary types (like ``Dictionary[String, Dictionary[String, int]]``) |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
The error message thrown says Nested typed collections are not supported., this includes both Dictionary and Array.
It could be misunderstood as "Dictionary" as a type cant be used, instead of typed dictionary.
Suggested change
| Nested dictionary types (like ``Dictionary[String, Dictionary[String, int]]``) | |
| Nested typed collections (like ``Dictionary[String, Dictionary[String, int]]``) |
The wording in the typed array section should probably be updated, too.
same with static_typing.rst line 242
