Basic Struture of a Go file

- first program and file structure
go mod init **modele path**

  • initialized a go.mod file which Discribes the module: name/module path go version the module path is also the import path

  • Package All our code must belong to a package the first ststement in Go file must be

package main

the main is the standard name of the main application file

func main(){

}

is the entry point of our Go program

import "github.com/AdamsGeeky/"

module path can correspond to a repository you plant to publish your module to (that is github/AdamsGeeky/)

The basic structure of a Go file typically includes:​

  1. Package declaration: This specifies the package that the file belongs to.

  2. Import statements: These import any necessary packages that are needed for the file.

  3. Constants: Any constants that are used in the file are typically defined at the beginning.

  4. Variables: Any variables that are used in the file are typically defined next.

  5. Functions: Any functions that are used in the file are typically defined after the variables.

  6. Main function: The main function is the entry point of a Go program and is typically the last thing defined in the file.
