Description

@hassineabd

RF 7.3 (https://github.com/robotframework/robotframework/blob/master/doc/releasenotes/rf-7.3.rst) introduced variable type conversion using the syntax ${VAR: type} in the *** Variables *** section and in [Arguments].

*** Variables ***
${VERSION: float}    7.3
${COUNT: int}        42

*** Keywords ***
Example
    [Arguments]    ${count: int}    ${critical: bool}=True

The syllabus currently teaches variable definition and argument types separately, but does not mention that variables and arguments can now declare their type inline using : type syntax.
