Golang Tutorial #2 - Variables, Data Types, & Declarations

Golang Tutorial - Variables, Data Types and Declarations (Golang Introduction)

Variables in Golang can be delcared either explicitly and implicitly which is also known as short variable declaration.

I provide a visual demo to illustrate what happens in memory during variable declaration and initialization. I also touch on the default value for different data types. Understanding this is essential to working with Go pointers which many find to be a complicated topic.

**Correction**
Towards the end of the coding segment I said that the var keyword could be used in conjuction with implicit declaration. That was poor wording on my part. Instead, I should have said that the var keyword could be used to declare and initialize a variable all in one expression. Whenever you declare an actual type, it is always explicit. Apologies if that caused any confusion.
