function addPrices(items: number[]) {

TypeScript is JavaScript For Any Scale.
TypeScript extends JavaScript by adding types.
TypeScript speeds up your development experience by catching errors and providing fixes before you even run your code.
Any browser, any OS, anywhere JavaScript runs. Entirely Open Source.

What is TypeScript?
JavaScript and More
TypeScript is an open-source language which builds on JavaScript, one of the world’s most used tools, by adding static type definitions.
Types provide a way to describe the shape of an object, providing better documentation, and allowing TypeScript to validate that your code is working correctly.
Types are optional in TypeScript, and type inference allows you to get a lot of power without writing additional code.
A Result You Can Trust
All valid JavaScript code is also TypeScript code. You might get type-checking errors, but that won't stop you from running the resulting JavaScript. While you can go for stricter behavior, that means you're still in control.
TypeScript code is transformed into JavaScript code via the TypeScript compiler or Babel. This JavaScript is clean, simple code which runs anywhere JavaScript runs: In a browser, on Node.JS or in your apps.
Evolving with Standards
The TypeScript team contributes to the TC39 committees which help guide the evolution of the JavaScript language.
When new features have reached stage 3, then they are ready for inclusion in TypeScript.
For example the TypeScript team championed proposals like Optional Chaining, Nullish coalescing Operator, Throw Expressions and RegExp Match Indices.
Types On Every Desk
Most of the worlds JavaScript’s is un-typed, and inference can only go so far. To address this, the TypeScript team helps maintain
Definitely Typed - a community project to provide types and inline documentation to existing JavaScript.This project allows the community to maintain type definitions for JavaScript libraries without putting extra pressure on their maintainers.
Consistently Good Tooling
By handling a lot of the editor integration inside TypeScript, you can get a consistent experience working in many editors.
This lets you easily jump between editors like Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, Nova, Atom, Sublime Text, Emacs, Vim, WebStorm and Eclipse.
