Learn Go: Loops, Arrays, Maps, and Structs
Why Learn Go: Loops, Arrays, Maps, & Structs?
Go (Golang) is a powerful open-source programming language supported by Google that is often thought of as the language of the Cloud. It is used by Dropbox, Meta, Riot Games, and many other companies. Loops, arrays, maps, and structs are powerful aspects of the language that allow for greater program complexity.
