Series
This series is all about Go Programming Language. We will start from basic features and then discuss about creating large projects with best practices and at the end also cover system design and design patterns using Golang.
First of all, why Go? Go was created in 2007 at Google for following reasons Slow Compilation: C++ and Java code at Google was too slow to compile. They needed something that could compile quickly Complexity: Existing languages had grown to become ...
Go can be downloaded through the official website; click here. Once you have installed Go, to check if go has been correctly installed, you can open a terminal and write below comand. go version This should show you current version of Go. Next. Crea...
Variables in go can be declared using following syntax var <variable-name> <data-type> = <value> For e.g. package main func main(){ var x int = 40 } There is also a shortcut of defining variables package main func main(){ x := 10 } In th...
Unlike languages like Python and Javascript, Go is statically typed. That means once a variable type is defined, the variable will only store that type of data. Go has 3 basic types bool Numeric string Bool To declare a variable and then initali...
Arrays Golang is statically typed compiled language. So it can be compared with languages such as C++. Now, C++ has arrays however those were not with dynamic length. However we also have collections using which can make dynamic arrays. Similarly, in...
