GoLang - constants

Naming Convention

just need to use const word instead of using naming convention like MY_CONST

const myConst int = 42
fmt.Printf("%v, %T\n", myConst, myConst)

Typed Constants

constant can be any GoLang - primitive types

Untyped Constants

the type of the constant would be inferred by the compiler in that case

Enumerated Constants

note that iota is scoped to a constant block see more on iota here

const (
	a = iota
	b
	c
)
const (
	a2 = iota
)
 
func main() {
	fmt.Printf(a) // 0
	fmt.Printf(b) // 1
	fmt.Printf(c) // 2
	fmt.Printf(a2) // 0
}
