Variables in Go

TL ; DR:

Variables are containers for storing values.

In Go, you can declare a variable with var:

var car string = "Toyota"
var experience int = 3

Inside a function, Go also lets you use short declaration with :=:

car := "Toyota"
experience := 3

Full lesson:

A piece of information lives in memory, and we use a variable to store and label that data.

A variable declaration can include:

• a name, such as name
• a type, such as string or int
• a value, such as "AlgoCademy"

var name string = "AlgoCademy"
var age int = 10

fmt.Println(name)
fmt.Println(age)

The output is:

AlgoCademy
10
