Summary:

What you’ll learn—and how you can apply it Julia's type system is one of its key features, and enables both flexible programming and fast performance. But, what is a type and how can it optimize your code? In this lesson, we'll introduce types in Julia, and discuss how to use them effectively in your code. We'll explore Julia’s built-in types as well as show you how to define your own, including defining custom constructor methods.
