Explore how to store and access data efficiently in TypeScript using sets, dictionaries, and the Map object. Understand concepts like index signatures, generics, and the bang operator to optimize performance and maintain strong typing.

We'll cover the following...

Big O is a standard way to communicate the complexity of an algorithm. O(1) is the most efficient because it is constant regardless of how many elements you are manipulating.

TypeScript has a couple of ways in which you can ...
