Lesson Overview

Fasten your seatbelts, coder! Today, we're immersing ourselves in Go, mastering arithmetic and logical operations on primitive types. These abilities are vital for data manipulation and decision-making during our coding adventure.

Arithmetic Operations Exposed

Remember that Go's primitive data types include int for whole numbers, float64 for decimal numbers, bool for true/false values, and string for textual content. Both int and float64 exhibit constraints in their numerical spans, which we'll explore when we discuss overflow later in this lesson.

We can perform arithmetic operations — addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*), division (/), and modulus — the remainder of the division (%) — on numerical types. Here's how we do it:
