TypeScript Simple Types

TypeScript Simple Types

They help prevent errors and make code more readable.

number

Used for integers and floating-point numbers.

string

Used for text values.

boolean

Used for true / false values.

any

Allows any type of value (avoid using when possible).

•  Use any only when you don’t know the type.

unknown (Safer than any)

Requires type checking before use.

null and undefined

Used for empty or missing values.

With strictNullChecks:

array

Used to store multiple values of the same type.

tuple

Array with fixed number and type of elements.

enum

Defines a set of named constants.

void

Used when a function returns nothing.

never

Used when a function never returns.

 Type Inference

TypeScript can automatically detect types.
