What this snippet does

The in operator checks for the existence of a property, safely narrowing object union types.

Expected output

Why practise typing this

Typing type guards 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.
