AI solution for TypeScript puzzle on BFE.dev
46. implement Subtract<A, B>
type Subtract<A extends number, B extends number> = A extends B ? 0 : B extends 0 ? A : Subtract<A-1, B-1>;
Explanation:
- The
Subtract
type takes two arguments,A
andB
, both of which extendnumber
. - We start by writing a conditional statement to handle the base case when
A
is equal toB
, in which case the result will always be0
. - Next, we handle the case when
B
is0
. In this case, the result will always beA
. - Finally, we recursively subtract both
A
andB
by 1 until we reach one of the two base cases.
