Since JavaScript supports classes and object-oriented programming, so does TypeScript. You can explicitly describe this object’s shape using an interface declaration.

This is because your TypeScript code must be converted into JavaScript, so it needs a program called a transpilersJavaScript while doing type checking, What does a Transpiler Actually Do? A transpiler is not a compiler or interpreter. It serves a similar purpose…
