What is TypeScript?
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that adds static typing and other features.
True or False: TypeScript helps catch errors at compile time.
True
What is one major benefit of using TypeScript in large-scale applications?
Improved maintainability and scalability of the codebase.
Fill in the blank: TypeScript provides _____ typing, which helps in identifying type-related errors early.
static
What feature of TypeScript allows for better documentation and understanding of code?
Type annotations
Multiple Choice: Which of the following is a benefit of TypeScript?
A) Dynamic typing
B) Improved IDE support
C) Slower performance
B) Improved IDE support
An integrated development environment (IDE) is a software application that helps programmers write, test, and build software.
IDEs can help programmers be more efficient and productive by combining tools into a single application.
How does TypeScript enhance team collaboration in large projects?
By providing clear contracts through interfaces and types.
True or False: TypeScript can be gradually adopted in existing JavaScript projects.
True
What is the role of interfaces in TypeScript?
Interfaces define the shape of objects and enforce type checking.
Fill in the blank: TypeScript’s _____ feature allows developers to define custom types.
union
For context, unions look something like this: function printId(id: number | string) {}
What advantage does TypeScript provide for refactoring code?
Type checking helps ensure that changes do not introduce new errors.
Multiple Choice: Which feature helps TypeScript provide better autocompletion in IDEs? A) Type inference B) Dynamic types C) Loose typing
A) Type inference
True or False: TypeScript can only be used with React applications.
False
What is ‘type inference’ in TypeScript?
Type inference is the ability of TypeScript to automatically deduce types based on the assigned values.
What benefit does TypeScript offer regarding third-party libraries?
TypeScript provides type definitions for many popular libraries, improving integration and type safety.
