// This demonstrates a practical use of conditional types
// In TypeScript, we'd use a generic conditional type to determine return types
// function processValue<T>(value: T): T extends string ? string : T extends number ? number : T extends boolean ? boolean : never

// Usage examples
const stringResult = processValue("hello");
console.log("Processing string 'hello':", stringResult);

const numberResult = processValue(10);
console.log("Processing number 10:", numberResult);

const boolResult = processValue(true);
console.log("Processing boolean true:", boolResult);

// In TypeScript, the function guarantees type safety
console.log("In TypeScript, calling processValue with a string returns a string");
console.log("In TypeScript, calling processValue with a number returns a number");
console.log("In TypeScript, calling processValue with a boolean returns a boolean");

Processing string 'hello': HELLO
Processing number 10: 20
Processing boolean true: false
In TypeScript, calling processValue with a string returns a string
In TypeScript, calling processValue with a number returns a number
In TypeScript, calling processValue with a boolean returns a boolean
