Go Challenges - Beggin

Features of Go Programming:

• Support for environment adopting patterns similar to dynamic languages. For example, type inference (x := 0 is valid declaration of a variable x of type int)

• Compilation time is fast.

• Inbuilt concurrency support: lightweight processes (via go routines), channels, select statement.

• Go programs are simple, concise, and safe.

• Support for Interfaces and Type embedding.

• Production of statically linked native binaries without external dependencies.

Comments

/* my first program in Go */

Requirements

• Linux 20.04
• Golang

Installation

1. sudo apt install golang-go

Run

1. go build hello.go

2. ./hello

Notes:

1. To create variable: x int

2. To assign result of function variable: x := function()

3. The var statement declares a list of variables

4. Inside a function, the := short assignment statement can be used in place of a var declaration with implicit type.

5. When declaring a variable without specifying an explicit type (either by using the := syntax or var = expression syntax), the variable's type is inferred from the value on the right hand side. This is on 9 case at main of hello.go.

6. Constants are declared like variables, but with the const keyword.

7. Constants can be character, string, boolean, or numeric values.

8. Constants cannot be declared using the := syntax.
