# Never

## `Never<Not, Type>`

A generic type `Never` indicates the generic type variable [`Type`](#type) is never of the generic type variable [`Not`](#not). It takes generic type variable [`Type`](#type) constrained by a generic type variable [`Not`](#not) which constraint causes its change to [`never`](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/basic-types.html#never).

{% code title="never.type.ts" %}

```typescript
type Never<Not, Type> = Type extends Not ? never : Type;
```

{% endcode %}
