using a type that explicitly states the variable size
fixed128x18 public foo
using a type that explicitly states the variable size
uint256 public variableName = uint256(5)
👎 Examples of incorrect code for this rule

uint public variableName
using the shorter alias for a type, which is implicit about its size
fixed public foo
using the shorter alias for a type, which is implicit about its size
