The return type any should be avoided because it prevents the type safety checks normally done by the compiler. When a function
returns a primitive type (i.e. number, string or boolean) it is safe to replace any with number, string or
boolean type respectively, or remove the return type completely and let compiler infer it.
Noncompliant code example
function foo() : any { // Noncompliant
return 1;
}
Compliant solution
function foo() {
return 1;
}
// or
function foo(): number {
return 1;
}
