We have a straightforward approach in TypeScript to perform a task:
function identity(arg) {
return arg;
}
This function takes a parameter and simply returns it, able to handle any type (integer, string, boolean, and more). Another way to declare this function is as follows:
function identity(arg:any):any {
return arg;
}
Both methods essentially do the same thing - accept a parameter and return it, functioning with various data types. However, what sets them apart? And why choose to use the any type?
