Description: Type assertion in TypeScript is a technique that allows developers to explicitly indicate to the compiler that a variable should be treated as a specific type, regardless of its original type. This is particularly useful in situations where the type of a variable may be ambiguous or when working with types that can be more general. By using type assertions, programmers can take full advantage of TypeScript’s features, such as compile-time type checking, which helps prevent errors in code and improves its readability and maintainability. Type assertions are performed using the ‘as’ syntax or angle bracket notation (<>) and are a powerful tool for managing typing in complex applications, allowing developers to have greater control over how types are interpreted in their code.
