Introduction to Strongly Typed Code
Let's learn about strongly typed code and its impacts on our app development.
We'll cover the following...

In the example above, we have both loosely typed JavaScript and strongly typed TypeScript code of the same function sum()
. The only difference between the two code snippets is ...
