Encoders require their input to be uniformly strings or numbers. got [‘int’, ‘str’]

encoders require their input to be uniformly strings or numbers.

For example, let’s consider an encoder that converts a list of integers into a comma-separated string. If the input is [1, 2, 3, 4], the encoder will convert it into the string “1, 2, 3, 4”. In this case, the encoder requires the input to be uniformly numbers (integers).

Alternatively, if we have an encoder that converts a list of strings into a single string by appending them together, such as [“Hello”, “World”, “!”] becoming “HelloWorld!”, the encoder requires the input to be uniformly strings.

The problem arises when the input contains a mix of strings and numbers, or any other inconsistent data types. In the given example, the encoder can handle inputs that are either strings or integers, indicated by the options [‘int’, ‘str’]. However, if the input contains other data types like floats or booleans, it may cause issues or unexpected behavior.
