 The `type` keyword can take two forms:
 
-1. **A single string**. When it is a single string, it must be one of the types mentioned above (`array`, `boolean`, `integer`, `number`, `null`, `object` or `string`). This specifies that the instance data is only valid when it matches that specific type.
