Golang Methods Syntax A method consists of the func keyword, the receiver argument, and the function body. Here is the syntax of a Go method. So, when we want

Pointers are one of the most important building blocks of writing good code. In this post, we are going to explore pointers, what they are, and how can they be used in Go to write excellent code. 1. What is a pointer? A pointer is a variable that stores the address it points to. A

The if-statement is present in almost every programming language out there. It is one of the most important control-flow statements in programming.

Deleting files is important when we want to do routine work with files. E.g. we save some log data and then after some time we may want to remove it automatically. This file deletion can be easily done in Go. In this post, we are going to discuss how to delete files in Go. Remove

In this post, we are going to explore how to write into files in Golang. Go has the io, os, and ioutil (deprecated in Go1.16) package which makes writing a file a lot easier. So, let’s see what are the different ways we can do it. First step: Creating a File In order to write

Reading files is one of the most essential tasks in programming. It allows us to see content, modify and write it using programming. In this post, we will see how to read file contents in Go. 1. Open a file for reading The first step is to open the file for reading. We can use

Printing data to the console is an essential task that not only helps debug the code but makes us write good code. In this post, we are going to take a look at the Println() function in Golang, which is a variadic function. Golang Println() Method Signature The method signature of the Println function is
