Key Concepts
Go is a statically typed, compiled programming language designed for concurrency and efficiency. Key concepts include:
- Data Types: Go has built-in data types like integers, floats, strings, and booleans.
- Control Flow: Go uses `if`, `else`, `for`, and `while` statements for control flow.
- Functions: Functions are essential for code organization and reusability.
- Packages: Packages are used to organize code into reusable modules.
Example
Here's a simple example:
function greet(name string) {
println("Hello, " + name + "!")
}
greet("World");
Go Packages
Go provides several standard packages:
- `fmt` - Formatting and printing
- `net/http` - HTTP server framework
- `io` - Input/Output operations
