Stack overflow from recursive setter in TypeScript

TypeScriptClassesGetters and Settersintermediate

What this snippet does

Assigning to the same property name inside a setter causes infinite recursion and a stack overflow at runtime.

Expected output

RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded

Why practise typing this

Typing classes code builds muscle memory for the symbols and indentation TypeScript uses most, which prose-based typing tests never cover. DevType measures your words per minute and accuracy on this snippet and tracks the individual characters you mistype, so later lessons can target them.
