Put the learning moves in the order that makes the concept easiest to apply.
- bool : represents a boolean value and is either true or false - Numeric : represents integer types, floating point values, and complex types - string : represents a string value
Go is statically typed, meaning that once a variable type is defined, it can only store data of that type.
Data type is an important concept in programming.
Data type is an important concept in programming. Data type specifies the size and type of variable values.
Go is statically typed, meaning that once a variable type is defined, it can only store data of that type.
Go has three basic data types
- bool : represents a boolean value and is either true or false
- Numeric : represents integer types, floating point values, and complex types
- string : represents a string value
Example
package main
import ("fmt")
func main() {
var a bool = true
// Boolean var b int = 5 // Integer var c float32 = 3.14 // Floating point number var d string = "Hi!" // String fmt.Println("Boolean: ", a) fmt.Println("Integer: ", b) fmt.Println("Float: ", c) fmt.Println("String: ", d)
