Example 1: typescript parameter function type

class Foo {
    save(callback: (n: number) => any) : void {
        callback(42);
    }
}
var foo = new Foo();

var strCallback = (result: string) : void => {
    alert(result);
}
var numCallback = (result: number) : void => {
    alert(result.toString());
}

foo.save(strCallback); // not OK
foo.save(numCallback); // OK

Example 2: typescript function as parameter

function createPerson(name: string, doAction: () => void): void {

// performs doAction which is waveHands function.
createPerson('Bob', waveHands());

  const name = first + ' ' + last;
  console.log(name);
}

sayName({ first: 'Bob' });
