Overriding an inherited property with an incompatible type in TypeScript

TypeScriptObjects and InterfacesInterface Extendingbeginner

What this snippet does

When extending, you cannot override a property with a type that is not assignable to the base property type.

Expected output

Compile Error: Interface 'B' incorrectly extends interface 'A'.

Why practise typing this

Typing objects and interfaces 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.
