Go data types like int, float64, string, and bool define the kind of value a variable holds and how it is stored in memory.
Go data types like int, float64, string, and bool define the kind of value a variable can hold and how it is stored in memory. Use var to declare a variable with an explicit type or let Go infer the type from the assigned value.
var count int
price := 19.99
name := "Alice"
isActive := true
Data types are like labeled boxes that tell the computer what kind of information you are storing, such as whole numbers, decimals, text, or true/false values. Choosing the right type ensures your program uses memory efficiently and performs calculations correctly. Think of it as using a specific container for milk versus a different one for flour to keep things organized.
