Before you go ...
Are you learning how to code? The first task will likely be a hello world program.
Here is a sample:
// define your function
const hello = (name: string = 'world'): string => {
return `Hello ${name}!`;
}
A lot is going on in this snippet of TypeScript code. First, we declare a variable hello which is an arrow function that takes one optional argument name of type string. The function argument has a default value of world. This function should return a string.
// call the function
console.log(hello());
// try it by changing 'NAME' to your name
console.log(hello('NAME'));
Then, we call the function. If you don't pass any argument to the function, the return string will default to Hello world. Otherwise, the output will be Hello NAME. NAME is the argument you pass to the hello function.
Whoa 😲! Too much for a test drive.
