TypeScript · Junior · Question 62 of 75

How do you call a generic function with an explicit type argument?

const value = parse<User>(json);

✓Correct answer: Pass the type in angle brackets after the function name
2Pass the type as a normal argument
3Use parse as User(json)

Explanation

Usually TypeScript infers type arguments from the values. Explicit arguments help when there is nothing to infer from.
