# Inheritance
### ~hint
### Inheritance is not supported yet for the @boardname@. Coming soon...
### ~
In TypeScript, we can use common object-oriented patterns.
Of course, one of the most fundamental patterns in class-based programming is being able to extend existing classes to create new ones using inheritance.

TypeScript can figure the return type out by looking at the return statements, so you can optionally leave this off in many cases.
# Arrow Functions
Arrow functions (also known as "lamba" functions) are used extensively to provide event handlers for
many APIs. For example:
```typescript
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, () => {
})
```

# Optional and Default Parameters
In TypeScript, the number of arguments given to a function has to match the number of parameters the function expects.

For programs to be useful, we need to be able to work with some of the simplest units of data:
numbers, strings, structures, boolean values, and the like.
# Type Inference
In TypeScript, there are several places where type inference is used to provide type information when there is
no explicit type annotation. For example, in this code
```typescript
let x = 3;
let y = x + 3
```
The type of the `x` variable is inferred to be `number`. Similarly, the type of `y` variable also is inferred to be `number`.
This kind of inference takes place when initializing variables and members,
setting parameter default values, and determining function return types.
All the examples below give an example type annotation, but will work just the same without the annotation.
# Boolean
The most basic datatype is the simple true/false value, which is called a `boolean` value.

# Variable Declarations

The key difference is not in the syntax, but in the semantics, which we'll now dive into.
### ~hint
### Use `let` instead of `var` to introduce a new variable.

## Block-scoping
When a variable is declared using `let`, it uses what some call *lexical-scoping* or *block-scoping*.
