Golang Commands

Overview

In this blog I am going to explain about basic go command and in depth knowledge about go commands will come after this series of basic go programming end.

fallowing topic will be explained in this blog :

primary commands
help topic

Commands

Go ahead open command prompt on type go and press Enter.

you can see all the commands and help topic that go provide.

Primary Commands

this all are primary commands that go provide. this all are self explanatory. we have "bug" command for bug report, "clean" to clean previous projects, "install" to install packages to project.mod command needs explanation. which we will discuss on the next blog.

but the command I want to talk about is doc. if we run ''go doc <package name>'' command

example "go doc json.decoder.decode" it will show the out put below.

go doc json.decoder.decode command out put

and if you run "go doc json.decoder" it will show the out put below.

and if you run "go doc json" it will show the out put below.

so what "go doc" command do is, it will go to the source code and show the documentation comment that has been written to help understand code and api.

for "go doc json.decoder.decode" comment it went to the json package and decoder object and decode method and displayed the documentation comments.

Additional Help Topic

if you need any help regarding the commands, just run "go help <topic name>" it will provide you with the necessary information to use that command. Advance knowledge about go command will be provided in an different series of blog.

Primitive data type of Golang

Overview In this blog I am going to talk about the date types and variables in go. and the topics bellow Declaring and initializing variables explicit initialization of variables implicit initialization of variables complex data type list of data type Pointer pointer operator dereferencing operator address of operator Constant Iota and constant expression Declaring and initializing variables there are 2 ways you can declarer and initialize a variable they are explicit initialization variables implicit initialization variables Explicit initialization of variables in this way you have to tell the compiler every thing you need to declare a variable. var i int i = 20 var j int = 3 fmt.Println(i,j) var f float32 = 32.233 fmt.Println(f) in this way we are explicitly telling what will be the input type for that variable. Implicit initialization of variables in this way of declaring a variable. we don't have to tell the compiler what type of data it will take on that
