Accessing a static member from an instance in TypeScript

TypeScriptClassesStatic Membersintermediate

What this snippet does

Static properties exist on the constructor function, not on the instance, leading to undefined when accessed via instance.

Expected output

Compile Error: Property 'x' is a static member of type 'C'.

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.
