What this snippet does
TypeScript uses exhaustiveness checking to flag code after all union cases have been handled.
Expected output
Compile Error: Unreachable code detected.
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.
