Go Programming

Start with the foundations

The Go Programming page brings together a small set of resources made by GoConqr users. For an introduction to organizing Go code, start with the Setting Up Your Go Environment flashcards. They ask about Go projects, the file created by go mod init and package declarations.

Next, use Predeclared Types and Declarations to practice questions about uninitialized variables, literals and integer literal prefixes. The Golang mind map offers another view of code organization, including workspaces, repositories, packages and source files.

Practice functions, types and errors

The Functions flashcards ask about function declarations, input parameters and return values. The mind map with the same title covers declaring and calling functions, so you can use it to organize the ideas before working through the questions.

Continue with Types, Methods, and Interfaces for questions about concrete and abstract types, type declarations and methods. The Pointers mind map introduces pointers, memory addresses and the zero value for a pointer. The Errors flashcards ask about error values, nil and checking for errors.

Use the quiz alongside the maps

The quiz asks where a Go program starts running, where the language was created and about the notation for logical NOT. It also includes a question about loop execution. Try it after studying the flashcards, then return to a relevant resource when a question exposes something you want to review.

This topic sits within the programming languages unit of Computing and ICT. Its resources offer different ways to explore the Go material listed here, from short questions to visual outlines. Choose a deck or map that matches the concept you want to practice.
