Accessing properties on an optional or nullable object without checking for undefined.
When `strictNullChecks` is enabled, TypeScript warns if an expression might evaluate to `undefined` before member access.
Using `.find()` on an array (which returns `Item | undefined`) or reading optional interface properties without checking if they exist first.
1const users = [2 { id: 1, name: "Alice" },3 { id: 2, name: "Bob" }4];5 6const found = users.find(u => u.id === 3); // Type: { id: number, name: string } | undefined7console.log(found.name); // TS2532: Object is possibly 'undefined'1const users = [2 { id: 1, name: "Alice" },3 { id: 2, name: "Bob" }4];5 6const found = users.find(u => u.id === 3);7 8// Fix 1: Optional chaining9console.log(found?.name ??

`Array.prototype.find()` returns `undefined` if no matching element is found. Directly accessing `.name` causes runtime crash risk.
