Types Concepts

Welcome to the world of Types. Understanding different types is fundamental to effective software development.

What are Types?

Types are fundamental building blocks in programming that define the kind of data a variable or expression can hold. They enforce rules to ensure code safety and predictability.

Types and Data Types

Different types like numbers, strings, booleans, and arrays have specific characteristics. TypeScript introduces a richer set of types.

Common Types

  • Number
  • - Represents numeric values (integers or decimals)
  • String - Represents text or sequences of characters
  • Boolean - Represents a value that can be either true or false
  • Array - A list of items of the same data type
  • Object - A collection of key-value pairs

Types in TypeScript (Brief Overview)

TypeScript relies heavily on types for type safety. It provides mechanisms for static typing, which helps catch errors during development.
