What this snippet does

A maxlen on a deque automatically discards old items when new ones are added.

Expected output

deque([2, 3, 4], maxlen=3)

Why practise typing this

Typing collections (advanced) code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation Python uses most, which prose-based typing tests never cover. DevType measures your words per minute and accuracy on this snippet and tracks the individual characters you mistype, so later lessons can target them.
