What this snippet does
Distributive conditionals evaluate each member of a union independently, allowing precise type stripping.
Expected output

Why practise typing this
Typing conditional types 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.
