When working with TypeScript classes, you can declare properties directly inside the class body. Properties can be given default values, or you can leave them uninitialized and assign values later, usually in the constructor. Declaring a property with a default value means every instance of the class starts with that value unless it is overwritten. If you do not provide a default value, you must assign one—typically in the constructor—so that each instance can have its own value.

Using the constructor to initialize properties is especially useful for properties that should be set differently for each instance. This ensures that every object created from the class has its own unique set of property values, rather than sharing a single value across all instances.
