Type signature: Art & Science

In computer science, a type signature or type annotation defines the inputs and outputs of a function, subroutine or method.[citation needed] A type signature includes the number, types, and order of the function's arguments. One important use of a type signature is for function overload resolution, where one particular definition of a function to be…
