What is “not assignable to parameter of type never” error in TypeScript?

by

All you have to do is define your result as a string array, like the following: 

const result : string[] = [];

Without defining the array type, it by default will be never. So when you tried to add a string to it, it was a type mismatch, and so it threw the error you saw.
