How can I use types and interfaces in TypeScript?

How can I use types and interfaces in TypeScript?

In TypeScript, types and interfaces are used to define the shape of objects. Types can be used for primitive types, while interfaces are more suited for object structures.

Can you give me an example of a type and an interface?

Sure! A type can be defined like this: type Point = { x: number; y: number; }; An interface can be defined as: interface Shape { area(): number; }.

What are the differences between types and interfaces?

Types are more flexible and can represent unions and intersections, while interfaces are better for defining object shapes and can be extended.

When should I use a type instead of an interface?

Use a type when you need to define a union or intersection, or when you want to create a more complex type structure.
