  37. class Point { x: number; y: number; constructor(x: number, y:

    number) { this.x = x; this.y = y; } getDist() { return Math.sqrt( this.x * this.x + this.y * this.y ); } } var p = new Point(3,4); var dist = p.getDst(); console.log("Hypotenuse is: " + dist); Optional static typing. Superset of JS.

  38. data Person = Person { name :: String, age ::
