What this snippet does

TypeScript uses structural typing; an object is compatible if it has all required properties, regardless of excess ones.

Why practise typing this

Typing type compatibility 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.
