Unlike arrays, slices can be resized using the built-in append function. Further, slices are reference types, meaning that they are cheap to assign and can be passed to other functions without having to create a new copy of its underlying array.

Go (or “Golangâ€) is a post-OOP programming language that borrows its structure (packages, types, functions) from the Algol/Pascal/Modula language family. Nevertheless, in Go, object-oriented patterns are still useful for structuring a program in a clear and understandable way.

A string literal is a string constant formed by concatenating characters. The two forms of string literal are raw and interpreted string literals.
Raw string literals are written within backticks (foo) and are filled with uninterpreted UTF-8 characters. Interpreted string literals are what we commonly think of as strings, written within double quotes and containing any character except newline and unfinished double-quotes.

CGo allows Go packages to invite C code. Given a Go source file that is written with some unique features, CGo yields Go and C files that can be merged into a unique Go package. That is because C means a "pseudo-package", a unique name defined by CGo as a reference to C's namespace.

Type casting is a way to convert a variable from one data type to another data type. For example, if you want to store a long value into a simple integer then you can type cast long to int. You can convert values from one type to another using the cast operator as following −
type_name(expression)

Go compiler assign a Nil value to a pointer variable in case you do not have exact address to be assigned. This is done at the time of variable declaration. A pointer that is assigned nil is called a nil pointer. The nil pointer is a constant with a value of zero defined in several standard libraries.

In Go programming language there are several different types of functions called methods. In method declaration syntax, a "receiver" is used to to represent the container of the function. This receiver can be used to call function using "." operator.

A special type of switch is dedicated in GO to check variable type at runtime, this switch is referred as type switch. Also, you can switch on the type of an interface value with Type Switch.

In GO Array works differently than it works in C
* Arrays are values, assigning one array to another copies all the elements
* If you pass an array to a function, it will receive a copy of the array, not a pointer to it
* The size of an array is part of its type. The types [10] int and [20] int are distinct

By default, Go uses call by value to pass arguments. In general, this means that code within a function cannot alter the arguments used to call the function and above mentioned example while calling max() function used the same method.
Posted Date:- 2021-10-28 11:40:01
While calling a function, there are two ways that arguments can be passed to a function −
* Call by value − This method copies the actual value of an argument into the formal parameter of the function. In this case, changes made to the parameter inside the function have no effect on the argument.
* Call by reference − This method copies the address of an argument into the formal parameter. Inside the function, the address is used to access the actual argument used in the call. This means that changes made to the parameter affect the argument.

Static type variable declaration provides assurance to the compiler that there is one variable existing with the given type and name so that compiler proceed for further compilation without needing complete detail about the variable. A variable declaration has its meaning at the time of compilation only, compiler needs actual variable declaration at the time of linking of the program.

A string literals specifies a string constant that is obtained from concatenating a sequence of characters.
There are two types of string literals:
* Raw string literals: The value of raw string literals are character sequence between back quotes ". Its value is specified as a string literal that composed of the uninterrupted character between quotes.
* Interpreted string literals: It is shown between double quotes " ". The value of the literal is specified as text between the double quotes which may not contain newlines.

The scope of a variable means the part of a program where the particular variable can be accessed. In the Go language, every variable is statistically scoped that means the scope of a variable is declared at compile time itself.
Scope of a variable in the Go language is cateGorized into two types:
Local variables these variables are either declared inside a function or a block.
Global variables these variables are declared outside the function or a block.

Pointers are variables that hold the address of any variable. Pointers in Golang are likewise called special variables. There are two operators in pointers they are

Static type variable declaration gives confirmation to the compiler that there is one variable existing with the given kind and name so the compiler continues for an additional compilation without requiring total insight concerning the variable.
