TypeScript · Junior · Question 75 of 75

Why is `@ts-expect-error` safer than `@ts-ignore`?

✓Correct answer: @ts-expect-error itself errors when the next line no longer has an error, so stale suppressions get noticed
2@ts-ignore is removed in strict mode
3@ts-expect-error fixes the error automatically

Explanation

Both silence the next line. Add a comment explaining why, and prefer fixing types where possible.
