Key Points to Remember
- All TypeScript statements must end with a semicolon (
;
). - TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript and shares most of its syntax, but it adds static typing and other features for large-scale applications.
- Comments can be added using
//
for single-line comments or /* ... */
for multi-line comments, similar to JavaScript. - TypeScript is transpiled to JavaScript during compilation, making it compatible with all JavaScript environments.
