Go supports user defined types in the form of structs and type aliases. structs are composite types, the component pieces of data that constitute the struct type are called fields. a field has a type and a name which must be unqiue. package main type User struct { ID uint64 FullName st...

because a struct is also a data type, it can be used as an anonymous field, the outer struct can directly access the fields of the embedded struct even if the struct came from a diffrent package. this behaviour provides a way to derive some or all of your implementation from another type or a set of...

In Go a method is a function that acts on a variable of a certain type, called the receiver the receiver can be anything, not only structs but even a function, alias types for built in types such as int, string, bool can have a method, an exception to this rule is that interfaces(discussed lat...

the receiver of a method is usually a pointer for performance reason because we wouldn't make a copy of the instance, as it would be the case in value receiver, this is especially true if the receiver type is a struct. anoter reason to make the receiver type a pointer would be so we could modify the...

Interfaces provide a way to specify the behaviour of an object, if something can do this then it can be used here. an interface defines a set of methods, but these methods do not contain code as they are abstract or the implemntation is left to the user of the interface. unlike most Object Oriented ...
