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.
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:
