There are three Luau type inference modes that can be set on the first line of a `Class.Script`:

- `--!nocheck` - Don't check types
- `--!nonstrict` - Default mode for all scripts, only asserts variable types if they are explicitly annotated
- `--!strict` - Asserts all types based off the inferred or explicitly annotated type
- `--!nocheck` — Don't check types.
- `--!nonstrict` — Only asserts variable types if they are explicitly annotated.
- `--!strict` — Asserts all types based off the inferred or explicitly annotated type.

The default mode for the type checker is `--!nonstrict`. The other two modes control how strict the type checker is with inferring and checking types for variables and functions. Any type mismatches in scripts are highlighted in the [Script Editor](../studio/script-editor.md) and surfaced as warnings in the [Script Analysis](../studio/script-editor.md#script-analysis) window.
