Comparing strings together is an important task that is almost unavoidable in large programs. In this post, we will see different ways of comparing strings in Golang. 1. Using the Golang Comparison Operators There is a multitude of comparison operators in Go. Each operator works in the way it looks. We will see what are […]

String concatenation is one of the most essential aspects of programming. Strings are building blocks of programming. In this post, we will explore different ways to concatenate strings in Golang programming language. 1. Golang String concatenation using the plus operator The plus (+) operator can be used to concatenate strings. It is generally the most

In most of the programming languages, there is an operator (?:) called ternary operator which evaluates like an if-else chain will do. But, Go does not have a ternary operator. In this post, we will dive into why it is absent in Go. What is the ternary operator? The ternary operator is the ?: operator

The while loop is a very important construct in general programming. But in Go, there is no loop called while. There are only for-loops. The while loops can be emulated using the for-loops in Go. So, here are some examples of how it can be done. How to construct while loop in Golang? The while

Loops are an essential part of any programming language. It does a single task multiple times. In this post, we will be diving deeper with the for loops in Go. The for-loop syntax The for loop is one of the most common loops in programming. Almost every language has it. The for loop in Go

The switch statement is one of the most important control flow in programming. It improves on the if-else chain in some cases. Thus making it substantially easy to do the same task with much less code. In this post, we will see how we can use the switch statement in the Go programming language. What

Sometimes, a programming language needs to ignore some values for multiple reasons. Go has an identifier for this. If any variable is declared but not used or any import has the same issue, the Go compiler throws an error. Golang blank identifier helps prevent that. What is the blank identifier? The blank identifier is the

The usage of variables is essential in any programming language. In this post, we will use the shorthand syntax of declaring variables in Go. Variable declarations in Go There are multiple ways of declaring variables. The shorthand syntax allows us to declare and initialize the variable both at the same time. This not only reduces

Sometimes we need to convert one data-type to another. In this post, we will go into detail about type-casting in the Go programming language. Types in Go There are many data-types in Go. The numbers, floating points, boolean and string. Number: int, int32, int64, uint32, uint64 etc Floating points: float32, float64, complex64, complex128 Boolean: bool

A type-switch in Go is just like the switch statement but with types. In this post, we will go into details about the type-switches in Go. But first, we need to understand the switch statement. What is a switch statement? A switch statement is a control flow which checks for a condition to match and
