In the Go language, data collection and movement (copying and moving) occur in several situations:

  • When assigning values to variables. For example, when assigning one value to a variable, data is copied.
  • When passing arguments to functions by value. Values are copied into the function's parameters.
  • When returning values from functions by value.
  • When working with slices, maps, and channels, the array or data itself is not moved, but a pointer to them, which is efficient.

Go uses the semantics of passing by value, but for complex structures, pointers are often passed to avoid copying large amounts of data.

Example of copying a structure:

 type Point struct {
    X, Y int
}

p1 := Point{X: 1, Y: 2}
p2 := p1 // copying structure data
p2.X = 10
// p1.X remains 1, p2.X will be 10

Thus, data collection and movement in Go are natural copy operations during assignment and passing by value, as well as passing pointers for optimization.
