TypeScript: Valid types

I’ve introduced a few types so far.

Valid types are

  • number
  • string
  • boolean
  • void
  • null
  • undefined
  • Array
  • …and more.

Then we have any, a catch-all type that allows any type, which is special in the sense we shouldn’t use it, as it removes many benefits of type checking, but sometimes it’s an “easy way out” from having to define types in a strict way.
