“any” in Typescript

Question

I am beginner in typescript. I have a doubt in usage of \"any\" type.

Using \"any\" is basically opting out type checking if I am right. For example

Answer 1

While the two are equivalent in use (because any is the default type when unspecified) by explicitly specifying the type as any, you explicitly declare the intent.

Intellisense, where available, will display the type as any, allowing easier understanding how your variable is meant to be used.
