Hmm, I don't know Pascal, and the languages I'm familiar with (TypeScript, Python, PowerShell, AutoHotKey) don't have subroutines in my understanding, so I may not really understand your example. But is your example similar with something like this?

const stringVar = num

Thanks for taking time to help me clear. I expect the type check to pass. In my understanding, `Partial<X>` is a type with all properties of `X` set to optional, so `a` should have no error. If this is the intended restriction, then how can I create a `Partial<Temporal.PlainDate>` instance? (more) |
