Typescript basics
1. What is TypeScript? Think of TypeScript as an improved version of JavaScript. It helps developers write better and more reliable code by adding a feature called "static typing," which means we can specify the types of values in our code. Example: // JavaScript code function add(x, y) { return x + y; } // TypeScript code with type annotations function add(x: number, y: number): number { return x + y; } 2. Setting Up TypeScript To use TypeScript, we need to install it on our computer. We can do this by running a simple command. Once installed, write the code in files with a .ts extension and then use a tool to convert it into regular JavaScript. Example: # Install TypeScript globally npm install -g typescript # Create a TypeScript file (e.g., yourfile.ts) # Compile it into JavaScript using the tsc command tsc yourfile.ts 3. Type Annotations and Inference In TypeScript, we can say what type (like a number or text) a variable should be. For example, if we have a v...
