Specifying typescript array types [duplicate]

Question

In typescript you can specify an array of numbers type as either number[] or Array<number>. Is there a difference or reason to choose one over the other?

No. number[] is just a shorthand.

Origin

This is because TS the very original versions, didn't have generics so a special syntax for arrays was created.
