------------ 01: Basic Types -----------
*******************************/
// Primitive Types
let str: string = "hello";
let num: number = 42;
let bool: boolean = true;
let undef: undefined = undefined;
let nul: null = null;
// Special Types
let anything: any = "can be anything";
let unknown: unknown = "type-safe any";
let nothing: void = undefined;
let never: never = (() => { throw new Error() })();
// Type Inference
let auto = "TypeScript infers string";
let nums = [1, 2, 3]; // number[]
/***************************
------------ 02: Variables & Arrays -----------
*******************************/
// Arrays
let numbers: number[] = [1, 2, 3];
let strings: Array<string> = ["a", "b"];
let mixed: (string | number)[] = [1, "two"];
// Tuples
let tuple: [string, number] = ["hello", 42];

// Destructuring
let [first, second] = tuple;

// Object Destructuring
let {name, age} = {name: "John", age: 30};

/***************************
------------ 03: Functions -----------
*******************************/
// Function Declaration

*******************************/
// Type Guards

/***************************
------------ 15: Common Patterns -----------
*******************************/
// API Response Type
interface ApiResponse<T> {
data: T;
status: number;
message: string;
}
// Event Handler Pattern
type EventHandler<T = Event> = (event: T) => void;
const onClick: EventHandler<MouseEvent> = (e) => console.log(e.clientX);
// Builder Pattern
class QueryBuilder {
private query = "";
select(fields: string): this {
this.query += `SELECT ${fields} `;
return this;
}
from(table: string): this {
this.query += `FROM ${table} `;

}

}
// Factory Pattern
interface Shape { area(): number; }
class Circle implements Shape {
constructor(private radius: number) {}
area(): number { return Math.PI * this.radius ** 2; }
}
class ShapeFactory {
static createCircle(radius: number): Shape {
return new Circle(radius);
}
}
// Promise/Async Patterns
type AsyncResult<T> = Promise<T | Error>;
async function fetchUser(id: number): Promise<User | null> {
try {

/*
* QUICK TIPS
* ----------
* • Use 'unknown' instead of 'any' when possible
* • Prefer 'interface' for object shapes, 'type' for unions/computed types
* • Enable strict mode in tsconfig.json
* • Use const assertions: const colors = ['red', 'blue'] as const
* • Prefer type guards over type assertions
* • Use utility types instead of manual type manipulation
* • Enable noImplicitAny for better type safety
* • Use discriminated unions for complex state management
