Coding Challenge: Create Algebraic Data Type

Let's create an algebraic data type.

Problem statement

In this challenge, create an algebraic data type (sum type) for a vehicle. The type of vehicle will be either a car or a bicycle. A car will have two properties: mileage and numberOfSeats, both properties of type number. On the other hand, a bicycle has a single property called luggageRack of type boolean.
