Excess property check triggered on nested fresh objects in TypeScript

TypeScriptType CompatibilityFresh Objects vs Variablesintermediate

What this snippet does

Excess property checks apply recursively to nested fresh object literals during assignment.

Expected output

Compile Error: Object literal may only specify known properties, and 'y' does not exist in type 'P'.

Why practise typing this

Typing type compatibility 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.
