In mathematical logic and computer science, some type theories and type systems include a top type that is commonly denoted with top or the symbol ⊤. The top type is sometimes called also universal type, or universal supertype as all other types in the type system of interest are subtypes of it, and in most cases, it contains every possible ...

2022年11月9日 · In this article, we'll start by comparing primitive type variables and literal types, and extend them up and down, respectively, to form a hierarchical chain that allows you to build the entire type system of TypeScript. All code samples can be found in Type Hierarchy.

2019年1月17日 · the top type is the type $T$ such that every type $X$ is a subtype of $T$, written $X \leq T$ Thus we cannot speak of the top type unless we have subtyping . Not all type systems have subtyping, and in those there is no top type to speak of.

2021年6月8日 · Top types. A top type (symbol: ⊤) is a type that describes any possible value allowed by the system. To use our set theory mental model, we could describe this as {x| x could be anything } TypeScript provides two of these types: any and unknown. any. You can think of values with an any type as “playing by the usual JavaScript rules”. Here ...

2022年8月24日 · The Top Types in TypeScript describe a set of values that can be any possible value allowed by the type system. The two main Top Types are `any` and `unknown`. `any` can accept any value but may cause runtime errors. `unknown` can accept any value but requires a type guard and is considered a safer option for values received at runtime.

2023年9月7日 · I’ve illustrated the various types in TypeScript as an inverted triangle, with the broader types at the top and the more specific ones at the bottom. This visualization helps to understand the positioning of each type based on its scope.

2021年8月20日 · In TypeScript, there are two top types unknown and any, and never is the only bottom type. Understanding the difference between unknown and any type is one of the most underrated aspects of ...
