What this snippet does

Implementing Symbol.iterator allows custom objects to work with for..of loops and the spread operator.

Expected output

[ 1, 2, 3 ]

Why practise typing this

Typing symbols & iterators 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.
