Session-3.md

We started from the next slide: https://go.dev/tour/basics/8

Topics Covered :

1. Variables

• In go var statement declares a list of variables and we can define the type in the last.

2. Variables with initializers

• var declaration can include initializers, one per variable. And the type can be omitted.

3. Short variable declarations

• Inside a func := short assignment statement can be used in place of a var declaration with implicit type.

4. Basic types

• We learnt about all the Go's basic types and The int, uint, and uintptr types are usually 32 bits wide on 32-bit systems and 64 bits wide on 64-bit systems. Remember by default it comes with 32 bits and then it gets changed as per your system.

5. Zero values

• In GO variables declared without an explicit initial value are given their zero value.

6. Type conversions

• The expression T(v) converts the value v to the type T.

7. Type inference

• In GO while declaring the variable's type is inferred from the value on the right hand side.
