What is Recursive Types?

Recursive types in TypeScript allow you to define types that refer to themselves. This is especially useful for representing data structures that have a nested or hierarchical structure, like trees or linked lists. By using recursion in type definitions, you can ensure that the type system accurately reflects the self-referential nature of these data structures, enabling strong type checking throughout your code.
