In GoLang, we use statements to instruct the program to perform a specific task or action. They are written as a sequence of tokens and executed by the Go interpreter or compiler.
Statements in GoLang are classified into various categories. Like...
- Declaration statements — use to declare variables, constants, and types.
- Control flow statements — use to control the flow of execution.
- Function statements — use to define and invoke functions.
- Advanced statements — more complex statements that deal with advanced Go features.
Understanding the different types of statements and their usage is essential for effective Go programming.
By using the appropriate statements for each task, we can write more efficient and effective code.
Today, we will see some lesser known but useful statements in Golang with real examples.
Note: I skipped some basic statements like declaration statements(var, const, type), control flow statements(if…else, for, switch), as they are simple and easy to understand.
