Create a ts file for example narahate.ts:

function buildNarahate(firstName: string, layer?: string) {
  if (layer) {
    return firstName + " lives in the" + layer + " layer of the Abyss";
  } else {
    return firstName;
  }
}
console.log(buildNarahate("Belaf", "sixth"));
console.log(buildNarahate("Belaf"));

then run:

$ npx ts-node ./typescriptfilename.ts

Output:

• Belaf lives in the sixth layer of the Abyss
• Belaf
