Sounds fancy, but it isn't. It just means that when we are type-checking an expression, we have some idea about what we expect the resulting type to be.
For example, if you do
foo: byte[100] = "hello"
, when we type-check the string"hello"
, the type of the string becomesbyte[100]
. But if you dofoo = "hello"
without specifying a type, the type of the string becomesbyte*
