[name] asked: what data types are there in Go?

Go has several main categories of data types:

1. Basic types:

   • bool — logical type (true/false)
   • Integer types: int, int8, int16, int32, int64, as well as unsigned uint, uint8 (alias for byte), uint16, uint32, uint64
   • float32, float64 — floating-point numbers
   • complex64, complex128 — complex numbers
   • string — string

2. Composite types:

   • Arrays ([n]T)
   • Slices ([]T)
   • Structs (struct)
   • Maps (map[K]V)
   • Interfaces (interface{})
   • Functions

3. Pointers — references to values

4. Channels (chan T) — for communication between goroutines

Go is a statically typed language with a simple and understandable set of types, which facilitates memory management and concurrency.
