Similar to interfaces that describe function types, we can describe types we can index into. These indexable types have an index signature that describes the types we can use to index the object. Along with the corresponding types returned when indexing. The GarageArray1 interface specifies that each number index must have a string value. We define an array to implement a GarageArray1 interface. We can then access the string by using the array name and the index number. The GarageArray2 interface specifies that each index is a string and the value is a number. We define an array to implement the GarageArray2 to interface we can then access the number using the key. You can make index signatures read only to stop them being mutated. The third GarageArray demonstrates this with the interphase specifying read only and the error message when trying to reassign a key value.
