Angular error TS2564: Property 'users' has no initializer and is not definitely assigned in the constructor

I am using angular to built this app using this example from "https://coursetro.com/posts/code/171/Angular-7-Tutorial---Learn-Angular-7-by-Example".
Its an exact code but I am still getting an error for "user:Object"

How can I fix this error?

error TS2564: Property 'users' has no initializer and is not definitely assigned in the constructor.

12 users: Object; ~~~~~

Here is the exact code as per website:
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { DataService } from '../data.service';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-home',
  templateUrl: './home.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./home.component.scss']
})
export class HomeComponent implements OnInit {
  //h1Style:boolean = false;

  users: Object;

  constructor(private data: DataService) { }

  ngOnInit(): void {
    this.data.getUsers().subscribe(data => {
        this.users = data
        console.log(this.users);
      }
    );
  }


}

My Angular based on ng version: Angular CLI: 11.1.2

OS: win32 x64

As @alcfeoh pointed out in the comments, you are getting this error because you are defining a variable but not declaring a value for it. The short answer is if you don't want to declare a value, then... just bang it:

users!: Object;

The reason why typescript throws this error is to prevent the following:

someNumber: number;

If there is no declaration included then the value of someNumber will be undefined even though we have explicitly not listed this type as someNumber: number | undefined;. But in many other languages, someNumber would receive a default value like 0. However that is not how Javascript works. If in this scenario you were to do someNumber + 1 the result would be null.
