Sorry, if this is off topic.

I've been reading about Typescript, during this thread. On the link,
https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/typescript-in-5-minutes.html
following sample program appears,

<quote>

 class Student {
fullName: string; constructor(public firstName: string, public
middleInitial: string, public lastName: string) { this.fullName = firstName
+ " " + middleInitial + " " + lastName; } } interface Person { firstName:
string; lastName: string; } function greeter(person : Person) { return "Hello,
" + person.firstName + " " + person.lastName; } let user = new Student(
"Jane", "M.", "User"); document.body.innerHTML = greeter(user);

</quote>

I'm not been convinced, how above typescript program can be correct. A
Student object is being created (with the let statement), and it is passed
to the greeter function. The greeter function is defined to accept Person
(interface). In the above program, there is no syntactic link between
Student and Person (class Student is not written implementing the interface
Person, and the structures of class Student and interface Person are
different).
