Defining Structs

Snippet

Defining Structs

Structs are used to group related data together. Unlike classes in other languages, Go uses structs to define the shape of data objects.

snippet.go

package main
 
import "fmt"
 
type User struct {
    Username string
    Email    string
    Active   bool
}
 
func main() {
    u := User{Username: "coder123", Email: "[email protected]", Active: true}
    fmt.Println(u.Username)
}
