#TypeScript #Type_Annotation
TypeScript is a typed language, where we can specify the type of the variables, function parameters, and object properties. We can specify the type using: Type after the name of the variable, parameter, or property. There can be a space after the colon. TypeScript includes all the primitive types of JavaScript- number, string, and boolean.
Type annotations are used to enforce type checking. It is not mandatory in TypeScript to use type annotations. However, type annotations help the compiler in checking types and helps avoid errors dealing with data types. It is also a good way of writing code for easier readability and maintenance by future developers working on your code.
We can still follow the JavaScript way of declaring variables and have the TypeScript compiler infer the data type of the variable.
var age: number = 32; // number variable
var name: string = "John";// string variable
var isUpdated: boolean = true;// Boolean variable
