Go Language Introduction

Go was introduced by Google in2007is a programming language developed by Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike, and Ken Thompson. Go is a statically typed language. Go has syntax similar to C.

• Go is a modern, fast, and powerful standard library.

• Go has built-in concurrency.

• Go uses interfaces as the basis for code reusability.

The most important feature of the Go language is:　

• Automatic garbage collection

• Richer built-in types

• Function multiple return values

• Error handling

• Anonymous functions and closures

• Types and interfaces

• Concurrency programming

• Reflection 　

• Language interactivity

The basic structure of a Go program includes the following parts:

• Package declaration

• Import packages

• Variables

• Statements and Expressions

• Function
  

• Comment

Instance
