TypeScript Learning Project

This project is a simple TypeScript application designed to demonstrate and explain various fundamental concepts of the TypeScript language. The main logic is contained in the app.ts file, which includes commented code examples.

Concepts Covered

The app.ts file covers the following TypeScript concepts:

• Basic Types: string, number, boolean
• Arrays: string[], number[]
• Tuples: Fixed-length arrays with specific types.
• Union Types: Variables that can hold multiple types (string | number).
• Special Types: any, unknown, never.
• Functions:
  • Basic functions with void return.
  • Functions with a string return type.
• Objects:
  • Using interface to define object shapes.
  • Using type aliases for object shapes.
• Enums: Creating sets of named constants.
• Classes: Basic class definition with properties, a constructor, and methods.
• Generics: Creating reusable components that can work with a variety of types.
• Intersection Types: Combining multiple types into one.
