Kindly review the provided code sample
type type1 = string[] | undefined;
let variable1 : type1 = undefined;
console.log(variable1 && variable1.length);
Upon attempting to run this code in Typescript Playground, an error is generated stating Property 'length' does not exist on type 'never'.
The question arises as to why TypeScript is throwing an error despite handling the possibility of variable1 being falsy using && short-circuit evaluation.
An alternative attempt involving ?. option chaining was also made, however, the outcome remains unchanged from the original code snippet.
The expectation here is for TypeScript to not display any errors. The inclusion of undefined as a potential value for variable1 is crucial, as there are checks based on its type within my application logic.
