Upgrade Tips

  • Nullable Type Declarations
    Prepend parameter and return types with a question mark (?) to permit null values alongside the specified type.
  • Void Return Type
    Functions and methods can now declare a void return type, indicating they do not return a value.
  • Iterable Pseudo-Type
    Use the iterable pseudo-type to accept both arrays and Traversable objects in parameter and return declarations.
  • Catching Multiple Exception Types
    Catch multiple exception types in a single catch block using pipe syntax (|), avoiding redundant error handling code.
