A teammate submits shaky built-in types and none code. Which review comment is the strongest?
Multiple choiceEasychapter-1-curatedpremiumpython-fundamentalsbuilt-in-types-and-none
Answer and explanation
Correct answer
A. Make the rule clearer and easier to explain. Use built-in types to match the real shape of the data: counts as integers, text as strings, flags as booleans, and missing optional data as None.
Why
The best review comment anchors the change to readability, correctness, and future maintenance. Forcing everything into strings or treating missing data as a fake value creates confusion that shows up later in comparisons and validation.
