Introduction to Go for Java Programmers
3 likes3,427 views
This document provides examples of Go language concepts like variables, functions, methods, structs, interfaces, concurrency, error handling and more. It demonstrates variable declaration, multiple return values, named return parameters, arrays, slices, maps, structs with methods, interfaces, embedding interfaces, goroutines, channels, recovery from panics, and passing values vs references.
![package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
arr1 := [3] int{1, 2, 3}
arr2 := arr1
fmt.Println("arr1 is equal to arr2: ", arr1 == arr2) // true
arr3 := [4] int{1, 2, 3, 4}
fmt.Println("arr1 is equal to arr3: ", arr1 == arr3) // this is an invalid operation
}
