Data Types in Go

Every value in Go has a type. The type tells Go what kind of data the value represents.

Common Go types include:

• int for whole numbers, like 5
• float64 for decimal numbers, like 3.14
• string for text, like "Hello"
• bool for truth values, true or false

var age int = 31
var price float64 = 9.99
var name string = "Andy"
var isStudent bool = true

Assignment
Follow the Coding Tutorial and create variables of different Go types.

Hint
Write the type after the variable name when using var.
