In this module, we're gonna explore simple types. By the end of it you should be aware of the types that are available in TypeScript and how we can assign them variables, that includes working with some new types that TypeScript introduces. As TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, all of the primitive and reference types that JavaScript has available are there to use in TypeScript. As a reminder, as of ES2015 this groups of seven are boolean, number, string, object, null, undefined and symbol. To add a type declaration in TypeScript you simply declare your variable as you would in JavaScript either with const or let, then have a colon followed by the name of the type. After that, you can define the initial value or not for let.
