What this snippet does
User-defined type guards use 'x is T' syntax to allow custom logic to narrow types safely.
Expected output
no
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.
