Report #100109

[bug\_fix] error TS2345: Argument of type 'number\[\]' is not assignable to parameter of type 'string'.

Pass the value the function actually expects. Convert the array to a string \(arr.join\(', '\)\), pass a single string element \(arr\[0\] with a guard\), or change the function signature if it should accept number\[\]. Read the error chain to see whether the mismatch is a primitive, a missing property, or an incompatible union member.

Journey Context:
You have function greet\(name: string\) \{ ... \} and call greet\(\[1, 2, 3\]\). TypeScript reports TS2345. At first you think greet should accept arrays because you plan to display multiple names. You consider changing the parameter to any, but that defeats the purpose. You hover the argument and see number\[\]. The function contract says it wants a single string. The fix depends on intent: if you want one greeting per item, map over the array; if you want a single comma-separated greeting, join the array first. You choose greet\(arr.join\(', '\)\). The error is gone because the argument now has type string, which is assignable to the parameter. This works because TypeScript checks function arguments for structural assignability, the same rule as variable assignments, but reports it at the call site as TS2345 rather than TS2322.
