Learning Google Golang (programming language)

Not to be confused with the Go! programming language by Francis McCabe

I don't know very much about the Google Go programming language, and it is a language I intend to not learn much about. This document will go over my knowledge of the Go programming language.

Hello World in Google Go

This is an example of a hello world program in the Google Go programming language.

package main

import "fmt" // Import Formatting settings

func main()
{ // This is the way I associate curly bracket usage in Go, as I see examples written like this, with the curly bracket wasting an extra line
    fmt.Println("Hello, world!")
}

Comments in Google Go

Comments in Go are identical to comments in C, JavaScript, CSS, C#, C++, etc..

// This is a single line comment
/* This is a
multi-line comment */
/* This is 
* also a
* Multi-line
* comment */

Break keyword in Google Go

break;

To this day, I am still not entirely sure what the break keyword does, but most languages support it.

/!\ This example has not been tested yet, and may not work
