What this snippet does
Custom error classes allow throwing specific error types that can be uniquely identified in catch blocks.
Expected output
fail
Why practise typing this
Typing error handling 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.
