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
  • `strings` - String manipulation
  • `sync` - Synchronization primitives
