What are the differences between strings and numbers in TypeScript?

What are the differences between strings and numbers in TypeScript?

In TypeScript, strings are used for text data, while numbers represent numeric values. Strings are enclosed in quotes, and numbers can be integers or floats.

Can you give me examples of how to declare strings and numbers?

Sure! You can declare a string like this: let name: string = 'Alice'; and a number like this: let age: number = 30;.

What happens if I try to add a string and a number?

If you add a string and a number, TypeScript will convert the number to a string and concatenate them. For example, let result = 'Age: ' + 30; results in 'Age: 30'.

Are there any type safety features in TypeScript for these types?

Yes, TypeScript enforces type safety, meaning it will throw an error if you try to perform operations that are not valid for the types involved.
