This challenge requires creating a TypeScript utility type Concat<T, U> that emulates the JavaScript Array.concat() function at the type level.
The concat() function in JavaScript is used to merge two or more arrays. This function does not change the existing arrays but returns a new array containing the elements of the input arrays.
We aim to replicate this functionality with types. We want to create a type that represents the array obtained by concatenating two given array types.
For this, we can use TypeScript's built-in tuple concatenation feature, which was introduced in TypeScript 4.0 along with variadic tuple types.
The variadic tuple type feature allows us to spread elements from one tuple type into another, effectively concatenating them.
type Tuple = readonly unknown[]
type Concat<T extends Tuple, U extends Tuple> = [...T, ...U]In this solution, we define a Tuple type as a readonly array of unknown elements. The Concat type takes two parameters T and U that extend Tuple. It then creates a new tuple type that includes all the elements from T and U in left-to-right order.
The [...T, ...U] syntax spreads the elements from T and U into a new tuple, effectively concatenating them.
