identifier expected in typescript

In TypeScript, an identifier is a name given to a variable, function, class or any other user-defined item. It is used to identify the item uniquely in the program. An identifier must follow a specific set of rules and guidelines.

To declare an identifier with an expected type in TypeScript, you can use the following syntax:

index.ts
let variableName: expectedType;
32 chars
2 lines

For example, if you want to declare a variable named age with an expected type of number, you would write:

index.ts
let age: number;
17 chars
2 lines

You can then assign a value to the variable later in your code:

index.ts
age = 30;
10 chars
2 lines

Alternatively, you can declare and initialize the variable in one statement:

index.ts
let age: number = 30;
22 chars
2 lines

If you try to assign a value to the variable that is not of the expected type, TypeScript will raise a compilation error. This helps catch type-related errors early on in the development process.
