Strict null checks preventing undefined access in TypeScript

TypeScripttsconfig & CompilerStrict Modeintermediate

What this snippet does

Under strict mode, array methods like find return T | undefined, forcing the developer to check for undefined before use.

Expected output

Compile Error: Object is possibly 'undefined'.

Why practise typing this

Typing tsconfig & compiler 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.
