SIFR-TYPE-0005: Unsupported operator or operand types. - Sifr

SIFR-TYPE-0005 belongs to the Static typing diagnostic family. It means: unsupported operator or operand types.

Why It Happens

Static types do not line up. Align annotations, inferred expressions, branches, containers, operators, or generic constraints, and convert explicitly where needed.

Use sifr --explain SIFR-TYPE-0005 locally to see the renderer’s exact message template and any machine-applicable suggestions for the compiler version you are running.

Erroneous Code

count: int = "three"

How To Fix It

Make annotations, inferred values, branch results, container elements, and operator operands agree. Add explicit conversions where the conversion is meaningful.

Fixed Code

count: int = 3
