Attempting to use for-of on an async iterator in TypeScript

TypeScriptAsync IterationAsyncIterablesadvanced

What this snippet does

Standard for-of loops cannot handle async iterators; you must use for-await-of to consume them correctly.

Expected output

Compile Error: Type 'AsyncGenerator<number, void, unknown>' is not an array type or a string type.

Why practise typing this

Typing async iteration 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.
