type Websites = 'www.google.com' | 'reddit.com';
let mySite: Websites = 'www.google.com' //pass
//or
let mySite: Website = 'www.yahoo.com' //error

type Details = { id: number, name: string, age: number };
let student: Details = { id: 803, name: 'Max', age: 13 }; // pass
//or 
let student: Details = { id: 803, name: 'Max', age: 13, address: 'Delhi' } // error
// the above line will show error because 'address' property is not assignable for Details type variables.
