TYPESCRIPT

rust typedef

// A type alias defines a new name for an existing type. 
// Type aliases are declared with the keyword type. 
// Every value has a single, specific type, but may 
// implement several different traits, or be compatible
// with several different type constraints.
type Point = (u8, u8);
let p: Point = (41, 68);

// A type alias to a tuple-struct or unit-struct cannot 
// be used to qualify that type's constructor:
struct MyStruct(u32);

use MyStruct as UseAlias;
type TypeAlias = MyStruct;

let _ = UseAlias(5); // OK
let _ = TypeAlias(5); // Doesn't work

rust typedef

type Name = String; // typedef char* Name;
