Placing a required parameter after an optional one in TypeScript

TypeScriptFunctionsOptional and Default Parametersbeginner

What this snippet does

A required parameter cannot follow an optional one because it creates an ambiguous calling syntax.

Expected output

Compile Error: A required parameter cannot follow an optional parameter.

Why practise typing this

Typing functions 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.
