Golang Tutorial #21 - Struct Methods

This golang tutorial covers structs and struct methods. These are just like regular methods from object oriented programming but act on structs. Methods are like functions that can be called on a specific type, in this case they will be called on our created structs.

This is hands down the best example I could find on methods (even compared to paid courses). Thanks!

[ahmadjunaidi-ll]

3 minutes in and im already understand how it works. Straight to the point no bullshit. Thanks!

[michaelbonnet]

very much appreciate that these videos explain things as if Go were all that had ever existed - that is, not explained via comparisons to other langauges and their concepts.

Great description of methods. It seems like a good rule of thumb would be if your method name starts with ‘set’, then use a pointer. However, I have also read that you would use a pointer for large data structures, as using a value receiver creates a copy of the data being passed to the method. The pointer receiver would prevent the method from using system resources unnecessarily. Am I understanding that correctly?

Using your videos to supplement what is unclear in the book I'm reading. Got lost on methods and totally got found with your video. Thanks a million!!

Let's go let's go!

That language looks pretty awesome. :)

Will probably use it in conjunction or addition with C#.

I'm finding Go nothing like Python and while I can follow through each episode and understand the concepts, the syntax is so much more complex I can't get any of it to stick in my head. Hoping it will just one day fall into place!

[zahidulislam]

Tim, you have done an excellent job on this complex topic. Thanks a lot

[brutalbutler]

by the way they are called function receivers, as specified in the go docs

Great video series. I recommend being precise when saying parentheses, braces, and brackets. 👍

[bilza]

such an attention to detail at this age

[danchisholm]

very good video. explained much better than most

[GuitarreroDaniel]

This was an amazing tutorial man, thank you very much!

[allenjames]

Really need a golang API tutorial pleaseee...

[qolbinurwandi]

Very insightful than udemy. Thanks tim!

[MaximRovinsky]

Thank you for this great tutorial. Really cool

[iossipmiljak]

Can not wait for channels and go routines :D
Do you have any plans of doing some tutorial on web programming with Go (cause of very powerful standard library), cause personally I still struggle with understanding Go documentation on those packages (whole node.js environment is much more understandable).

[btowers]

Thank you. Great tutorials!. Helped a lot...

[asmr_codster]

THANKS! You are a good teacher. It will be cool if you will show examples on real projects.

For exmaple there is project structure

handler
service
repository

And in this structure everywhere pointers is used.

I dont understand the function of for example "func (b *Reader) Read(p []byte) (n int, err error)" where it says: "Read reads data into p" but how can it reads data INTO p when there is no pointer to p and p is just a value to get from the function call ?
