Getting Started with TypeScript

TypeScript is a powerful superset of JavaScript that adds static typing to the language. Let's explore some basic concepts!

Why TypeScript?

TypeScript offers several benefits:

  • Static typing
  • Better IDE support
  • Enhanced code maintainability
  • Improved team collaboration

Basic Types

// Number
let age: number = 25;

// String
let name: string = "John Doe";

// Boolean
let isStudent: boolean = true;

// Array
let numbers: number[] = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

Interfaces

Interfaces are one of TypeScript's most powerful features:

interface User {
	name: string;
	age: number;
	email?: string; // Optional property
}

const user: User = {
	name: "John Doe",
	age: 25,
};
