Exceeding tuple recursion limits in TypeScript

TypeScriptType System LimitsInstantiation Depthadvanced

What this snippet does

Building large tuples via recursion is a common pattern for integer math in types, but hits instantiation depth limits quickly.

Expected output

Compile Error: Type instantiation is excessively deep and possibly infinite.

Why practise typing this

Typing type system limits 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.
