What this snippet does
If 'User' is a type and 'createUser' is a value, some transpilers drop the type, but mixing them requires explicit handling.
Expected output
Compile Error: 'User' is a type and must be imported using a type-only import.
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.
