What this snippet does
Without useUnknownInCatchVariables, caught errors are typed as any, bypassing noImplicitAny and hiding potential runtime issues.
Expected output
Compile Error: 'e' is of type 'unknown'.
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.
