# NoValue
Emitted when Psalm invalidated all possible types for a given expression. It is often an indication that Psalm found dead code or that documented types were not exhaustive
```php
<?php
/**
* @return never
*/
function foo() : void {
exit();
}
$a = foo(); // Psalm knows $a will never contain any type because foo() won't return
```
```php
<?php
function foo() : void {
return throw new Exception(''); //Psalm detected the return expression is never used
}
```
```php
<?php
function shutdown(): never {die('Application closed unexpectedly');}
function foo(string $_a): void{}
foo(shutdown()); // foo() will never be called
```
```php
<?php
$a = [];
/** @psalm-suppress TypeDoesNotContainType */
assert(!empty($a));
count($a); // Assert above always fail. There is no possible type that $a can have here
```
