Go Getting started with Go Hello, World!
Example
Place the following code into a file name hello.go:
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
fmt.Println("Hello, 世界")
}
When Go is installed correctly this program can be compiled and run like this:
go run hello.go
Output:
Hello, 世界
Once you are happy with the code it can be compiled to an executable by running:
go build hello.go
This will create an executable file appropriate for your operating system in the current directory, which you can then run with the following command:
Linux, OSX, and other Unix-like systems
./hello
Windows
hello.exe
Note: The Chinese characters are important because they demonstrate that Go strings are stored as read-only slices of bytes.
