Go, like all modern languages, has functions. As we saw in the example where we built our first program in Go, functions start with the func keyword. To create a basic function that doesn’t take any parameters and doesn’t return a value, is simple: If you want to pass parameters you put them in the…
Performing Math in Go is like many other programing languages in many ways. Of course, the standard mathematical symbols apply: Operator Description + Addition – Subtraction * Multiplication / Quotient % Remainder & Bitwise AND | Bitwise OR ^ Bitwise XOR &^ Bit clear (AND NOT) << Left shift >> Right shift (logical) The Math…
Now that you have your first program in Go, and you know that it is installed correctly, let’s look at modifying some code to get a more robust program. Declaring Variables Go is a statically typed language (i.e. it is defined when variables are created and those variables cannot change) that does not permit operations…
After you install Go, we need to check to see if it is configured properly. Things work better with a Go Path set. This is usually under your home directory. In Windows that would be C:\Users\<username>\go most likely. You can check this by going to the command prompt and typing: This is going to do…
Go was developed by a team of engineers at Google, primarily Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike, and Ken Thompson, who released it publicly in 2009. The primary motivation behind Go’s creation was to address the limitations the team observed in other programming languages, especially when building large, scalable systems at Google. Many of these limitations were…
When installing Go, you have a couple of options. Source Code First, you can install from source code, which means you will need to compile the source code. This allows for a lot of flexibility. However, the code base itself is written in Go, so you will need to download a binary of the Go…
JavaScript, as the language has gotten more complex, has realized that it needs to have the ability to easily import and export code from other modules, while not degrading the performance of a webpage. This is because, by default, a webpage downloads a script and processes it once downloaded, all while blocking all other downloads…
We’ve already briefly looked at classes in TypeScript and classes in JavaScript, so let’s delve a little deeper now. Since TypeScript is just JavaScript, with some added on bits, we can create a class as we normally would with the adding of types as you see below. However, we can overload our constructors to see…
