✨ Introduction
JavaScript is a dynamic, loosely typed language widely used for web development. TypeScript, on the other hand, is a strongly typed superset of JavaScript that provides static typing and other powerful features.
" 🎯 TypeScript is JavaScript with syntax for types." – Microsoft
key differences
Feature 🟡JavaScript 🔵Typescript 📌Type System Dynamically typed Statically typed ⚡Compilation Runs directly in browsers Needs to be compiled to JavaScript 🐞Error Detection Detected at runtime Detected at compile-time 🛠Tooling & Debugging Limited static analysis Better IntelliSense & error detection 🎓Learning Curve Easier for beginners Requires learning types & compilation 📈Code Scalability Less maintainable for large projects Better for large-scale applications
🚀Why Choose TypeScript Over JavaScript?
-
Improved Code Quality
- Detects errors before execution
- Reduces debugging time
- Better Developer Experience
-
Offers IntelliSense for better code suggestions
- Provides better code documentation with types
- Enhanced Maintainability

📝JavaScript Example
var name = "Renuka"; // Can store any value
console.log(name); // Output: Renuka
name = 25; // No error, but may cause issues later
console.log(name); // Output: 25
TypeScript Example
var name: string = "Renuka"; // Explicitly defined as a string
console.log(name); // Output: Renuka
// name = 25; // ❌ Error: Type 'number' is not assignable to type 'string'
