write tests for this file: in typescript

To write tests for a TypeScript file, you can use a testing framework such as Jest. Here is an example of how you can write tests for a TypeScript file:

First, install Jest using npm:

npm install --save-dev jest

Then, create a test file in the same directory as your TypeScript file. Let's say your TypeScript file is example.ts, you can create a test file named example.test.ts. In the test file, you can write your test cases.

Here is an example of how you can write a test for a TypeScript file using Jest:

index.ts
import { exampleFunction } from './example';

describe('exampleFunction', () => {
  it('should return the sum of two numbers', () => {
    // Arrange
    const a = 5;
    const b = 10;

    // Act
    const result = exampleFunction(a, b);

    // Assert
    expect(result).toEqual(15);
  });
});

In this example, we import the exampleFunction from the example.ts file and then define a test case using the it function. Inside the test case, we provide the expected inputs, call the function, and use the expect assertion to validate the result.

To run the tests, you can use the jest command in your terminal:

jest

This will execute all the test cases in your test file and provide the test results.

Remember to compile your TypeScript file before running the tests. You can use tools like tsc or a build tool like Webpack or Babel to compile your TypeScript code into JavaScript.
