# Unbound ## Unbound ```py x = foo # error: [unresolved-reference] "Name `foo` used when not defined" foo = 1 # No error `unresolved-reference` diagnostic is reported for `x`. This is # desirable because we would get a lot of cascading errors even though there # is only one root cause (the unbound variable `foo`). # revealed: Unknown reveal_type(x) ``` Note: in this particular example, one could argue that the most likely error would be a wrong order of the `x`/`foo` definitions, and so it could be desirable to infer `Literal[1]` for the type of `x`. On the other hand, there might be a variable `fob` a little higher up in this file, and the actual error might have been just a typo. Inferring `Unknown` thus seems like the safest option.
