Variables

In Go+, variables are explicitly declared and used by the compiler to e.g. check type-correctness of function calls.

var declares 1 or more variables.

var a = "initial" println a

You can declare multiple variables at once.

var b, c int = 1, 2 println b, c

Go+ will infer the type of initialized variables.

var d = true println d

Variables declared without a corresponding initialization are zero-valued. For example, the zero value for an int is 0.

var e int println e

The := syntax is shorthand for declaring and initializing a variable, e.g. for var f string = "apple" in this case.

f := "apple" println f
