How do I use classes in TypeScript?

In TypeScript, you can define a class using the class keyword. Here's a simple example:

class Animal {
    name: string;

    constructor(name: string) {
        this.name = name;
    }

    speak() {
        console.log(`${this.name} makes a noise.`);
    }
}

const dog = new Animal('Dog');
dog.speak(); // Dog makes a noise.

What are the benefits of using classes?

Classes in TypeScript provide a clear structure for your code, support inheritance, and encapsulate data and behavior, making it easier to manage and scale your applications.

Can you explain inheritance in TypeScript classes?

Sure! Inheritance allows a class to inherit properties and methods from another class. Here's an example:

class Dog extends Animal {
    speak() {
        console.log(`${this.name} barks.`);
    }
}

const dog = new Dog('Rex');
dog.speak(); // Rex barks.
