Why this JavaScript code fails in TypeScript?

Question

I found below JavaScript code snippet in adsense's developers.google.com site which allows me to inject external JS file into an iFrame when added few other parameters.

    (function(g,o){g[o]=g[o]||function(){(g[o]['q']=g[o]['q']||[]).push(
  arguments)},g[o]['t']=1*new Date})(window,'_googCsa');

When I tried to use above snippet in a Typescript file it gives me an error(shown in the picture down below). I tried fixing it but nothing was successful.

Please help me fix this code snippet. I would like to use that snippet in an angular app component.

Typescript has a problem with using multiplication on a date. In this code, multiplication is being used to implicitly coerce the Date to a number. However, you can just accomplish the same thing explicitly.

(new Date).valueOf()

It worked. Is there any documentation that I can follow to know all this?

There is a lot of documentation about a lot of things in a lot of places. Here's some documentation for .valueOf(). developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/…
