# Cycles ## Function signature Deferred annotations can result in cycles in resolving a function signature: ```py from __future__ import annotations # error: [invalid-type-form] def f(x: f): pass reveal_type(f) # revealed: def f(x: Unknown) -> Unknown ``` ## Unpacking See: ```py class Point: def __init__(self, x: int = 0, y: int = 0) -> None: self.x = x self.y = y def replace_with(self, other: "Point") -> None: self.x, self.y = other.x, other.y p = Point() reveal_type(p.x) # revealed: Unknown | int reveal_type(p.y) # revealed: Unknown | int ```
