Functions

Functions are at the core of the language. They provide a mechanism to group and organize our code to separate and distinct pieces of functionality. They can be used to provide an API to the packages we write and are a core component to concurrency.

Notes

Functions can return multiple values and most return an error value.
The error value should always be checked as part of the programming logic.
The blank identifier can be used to ignore return values.

Exercises

Exercise 1

Part A Declare a struct type to maintain information about a user. Declare a function that creates value of and returns pointers of this type and an error value. Call this function from main and display the value.

Part B Make a second call to your function but this time ignore the value and just test the error value.
