Type inference is the compiler’s deduction of an expression or variable’s type from available context and assignments. In the ASP.NET Core examples, handler parameters are written explicitly, so the listings provide context for typed parameters rather than a worked inference algorithm. section 3.1

The ASCII-art endpoint declares its route value as `(string text)` before passing it to `FiggleFonts.Standard.Render(text)`. A later endpoint declares `(string text, string? font)` and forwards both values to `AsciiArt.Write`. These examples show where parameter types appear in service code, but do not demonstrate the compiler deducing them. section 3.1
