In this class, we’ll discuss how to use arrays and slices in Golang. By the end of the tutorial, you’ll be in a position to declare and use arrays and slices in Golang. Let’s start by looking at the differences...
In this class, we’ll be covering how you can use conditionals in Golang. So, let’s dive in and find out how to use conditionals in Golang. You might be thinking, “What are conditionals?” Well, conditionals are expressions that result to...
Operators are symbols that tell the compiler to perform specific operations that may be mathematical, relational or logical. The Golang programming language has a rich in in-built operators that can be grouped into: Arithmetic Operators, Relational Operators, Logical Operators, Bitwise...
In this class, we discuss how to use pointers in Golang. By the end of the class, you’ll have learnt how to define and use pointers in Golang. Let’s start the discussion by first defining pointers. A pointer is an...
In this class, we follow up our discussions on functions by looking at the special statement “defer” in Golang. Let’s start by discussing what the defer statement does in Golang programs. The defer statement is used to schedule a function...
In this class, we follow up our discussions on functions by focusing on variadic functions. By the end of the class, you’ll have learnt how to implement variadic functions in Golang. Now, you might be thinking, “This is great, but...
In this blog post, we discuss Golang Functions. By the end of the class, you’ll be expected to master how to use Golang functions. But first, let’s start by defining what functions are and their importance in programming. A function—also...
In this blog post, we discuss how to use structs in Golang. After the end of the lesson, you’ll have learnt how to implement structs in your Golang programs. Structs are typed collections that are used to stored fields. They...
Let’s face it—a good text editor can provide a local environment that’s suitable for writing your Golang programs. However, the time you take writing such codes is lengthy, and in some cases, quite laborious and tedious—especially when testing and debugging...
In this blog, we’ll be looking at the different data types that are used in Golang and how to cast between different kinds. Before we look at different ways of type casting, let’s discuss some of the most commonly used...
