Checking for optional properties with in in TypeScript

TypeScriptType Guardsinbeginner

What this snippet does

If a property is optional, its presence via the in operator doesn't guarantee it isn't undefined.

Expected output

undefined

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.
