My journey with TypeScript is just beginning, and I recently encountered the symbol | while working on a problem in LeetCode using Typescript. I believe it has something to do with defining variable types. Can anyone provide more insight into this?
/**
* Definition for a binary tree node.
* class TreeNode {
* val: number
* left: TreeNode | null
* right: TreeNode | null
* constructor(val?: number, left?: TreeNode | null, right?: TreeNode | null) {
* this.val = (val===undefined ? 0 : val)
* this.left = (left===undefined ? null : left)
* this.right = (right===undefined ? null : right)
* }
* }
