Arrays in TypeScript

All the source code from this chapter is valid TypeScript code. The difference is that TypeScript will do type checking at compile time to make sure we are only manipulating arrays in which all values have the same datatype.

If we take a look at the preceding code, it is the same numbers array as we declared in previous sections of this chapter:

const numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10];
