Setup the workspace for Golang

Go has a different approach of managing code, you’ll need to create a single Workspace for all your Go projects. For more information consult setup the workspace

  1. First, you will need to install Go on your machine. Go to the official Go website https://golang.org/ and click on the “Download Go” button to download the latest version of Go. Follow the installation instructions to install Go on your system.

  2. Go uses a simple and easy-to-learn syntax that is similar to C. Here is a basic Go program that prints “Hello, world!” to the console:

    1
2
3
4
5
6
7
     package main
 import "fmt"

 func main() {
     fmt.Println("Hello, world!")
 }

  3. To run the program, save it to a file with a .go extension (e.g. hello.go) and then run the go run command:

    1
     go run hello.go

  4. Go also includes a built-in testing framework that allows you to write unit tests for your code. To write a test, create a file with a _test.go suffix (e.g. hello_test.go) and write a test function with the following signature:

    1
     func TestXxx(*testing.T)

    Where Xxx is the name of the function being tested, and *testing.T is a pointer to a testing.T struct. For example:

    1

3
4
5
6

10
     package main

 import "testing"

 func TestHello(t *testing.T) {
     result := hello()
     if result != "Hello, world!" {
 		t.Errorf("Unexpected result: %s", result)
 	}
 }

  5. To run the tests, use the go test command:

    1
     go test

This is just a basic introduction to Go. There is much more to learn about Go, including its built-in data types, control structures, and concurrency features. I recommend reading the official Go tutorial https://tour.golang.org/welcome/1 for a more comprehensive introduction to Go.
