Typed arguments
Similarly to the above-described typed variables, it is possible to indicate that the sub’s parameters are typed. To do so, add a type name before the name of the parameter.
sub say-hi(Str $name) {
say "Hi, $name!";
}If the types of the expected and the actual parameters do not match, a compile-time error will occur.
say-hi("Mr. X"); # OK# say-hi(123); # Error: Calling say-hi(Int) will never work
# with declared signature (Str $name)
