This lecture introduces the concept of type aliases, which provide alternative names for complex data types to improve code readability and maintainability. Through examples, the instructor demonstrates how type aliases can be used to define types for objects, function parameters, and array declarations. The lecture emphasizes the benefits of using type aliases, such as clearer code structure, easier type changes, and better differentiation between different concepts like distances and volumes.
