Go has some familiar types such as "int" and "float", which represent
values of the ''appropriate'' size for the machine. It also defines
specifically-sized types such as "int8", "float64", and so on, plus
unsigned integer types such as "uint", "uint32", etc. And then there
is a "byte" synonym for "uint8", which is the element type for

distinct types; even if "int" and "int32" are both 32 bits in size,
they are not the same type. There is also a "byte" synonym for
"uint8", which is the element type for strings.
Speaking of "string", that's a built-in type as well. Strings are
<i>immutable values</i> -- they are not just arrays of "byte" values.
@ -176,10 +187,25 @@ In Go, since arrays are values, it's meaningful (and useful) to talk
about pointers to arrays.
The size of the array is part of its type; however, one can declare
an <i>open array</i> variable, to which one can assign any array value
with the same element type.
(At the moment, only <i>pointers</i> to open arrays are implemented.)
Thus one can write this function (from "sum.go"):
a <i>slice</i> variable, to which one can assign any array value
with the same element type. Slices look a lot like arrays but have
no explicit size ("[]" vs. "[10]") and they reference a segment of
an underlying, often anonymous, regular array. Multiple slices
can share data if they represent pieces of the same array;
multiple arrays can never share data.
Slices are actually much more common in Go programs than
regular arrays; they're more flexible, have reference semantics,
and are efficient. What they lack is the precise control of storage
layout of a regular array; if you want to have a hundred elements
of an array stored within your structure, you should use a regular
array.
When passing an array to a function, you almost always want
to declare the formal parameter to be a slice. Go will automatically
create (efficiently) a slice reference and pass that.
Using slices one can write this function (from "sum.go"):

The expression "[3]int{1,2,3}" -- a type followed by a brace-bounded expression

The built-in function "len()" appeared there too - it works on strings,
arrays, and maps, which can be built like this:
If you are creating a regular array but want the compiler to count the
elements for you, use "..." as the array size:
s := sum([...]int{1,2,3});
In practice, though, unless you're meticulous about storage layout within a
data structure, a slice - using empty brackets - is all you need:
s := sum([]int{1,2,3});
There are also maps, which you can initialize like this:
m := map[string] int {"one":1 , "two":2}
At least for now, maps are <i>always</i> pointers, so in this example
"m" has type "*map[string]int". This may change.
The built-in function "len()", which returns number of elements,
makes its first appearance in "sum". It works on strings, arrays,
slices, and maps.
You can also create a map (or anything else) with the built-in "new()"
function:
m := new(map[string] int)
An Interlude about Allocation
----
The "new()" function always returns a pointer, an address for the object
it creates.
Most types in Go are values. If you have an "int" or a "struct"
or an array, assignment
copies the contents of the object. To allocate something on the stack,
just declare a variable. To allocate it on the heap, use "new()", which
returns a pointer to the allocated storage.
type T struct { a, b int }
var t *T = new(T);
or the more idiomatic
t := new(T);
Some types - maps, slices, and channels (see below) have reference semantics.
If you're holding a slice or a map and you modify its contents, other variables
referencing the same underlying data will see the modification. If you allocate
a reference object with "new()" you receive a pointer to an uninitialized ("nil")
reference. Instead, for these three types you want to use "make()":
m := make(map[string] int);
This statement initializes a new map ready to store entries. If you just declare
the map, as in
var m map[string] int;
it is a "nil" reference that cannot hold anything. To use the map,
you must first initialize the reference using "make()" or by assignment to an
existing map.
Note that "new(T)" returns type "*T" while "make(T)" returns type "T".

declaration on line 27; it declares "r" and "e" to hold the two values,
both of type "int64" (although you'd have to look at the "syscall" package
to see that). Finally, line 28 returns two values: a pointer to the new "FD"
and the return code. If "Syscall.open" failed, the file descriptor "r" will

be negative and "NewFD" will return "nil".

About those errors: The "os" library includes a general notion of an error
string, maintaining a unique set of errors throughout the program. It's a
good idea to use its facility in your own interfaces, as we do here, for
consistent error handling throughout Go code. In "Open" we use the
routine "os.ErrnoToError" to translate Unix's integer "errno" value into
an error string, which will be stored in a unique instance of "*os.Error".
Now that we can build "FDs", we can write methods for them. To declare
a method of a type, we define a function to have an explicit receiver
of that type, placed
in parentheses before the function name. Here are some methods for "FD",

Printing
---
The examples of formatted printing so far have been modest. In this section
we'll talk about how formatted I/O can be done well in Go.
There's a package "fmt" that implements a version of "printf" that should
look familiar:
--PROG progs/printf.go
Within the "fmt" package, "printf" is declared with this signature:
printf(format string, v ...) (n int, errno *os.Error)
That "..." represents the variadic argument list that in C would
be handled using the "stdarg.h" macros, but in Go is passed using
an empty interface variable ("interface {}") that is then unpacked
using the reflection library. It's off topic here but the use of
reflection helps explain some of the nice properties of Go's printf,
due to the ability of "printf" to discover the type of its arguments
dynamically.
For example, in C each format must correspond to the type of its
argument. It's easier in many cases in Go. Instead of "%llud" you
can just say "%d"; "printf" knows the size and signedness of the
integer and can do the right thing for you. The snippet
--PROG progs/print.go 'NR==6' 'NR==7'
prints
18446744073709551615 -1
In fact, if you're lazy the format "%v" will print, in a simple
appropriate style, any value, even an array or structure. The output of
--PROG progs/print.go 'NR==10' 'NR==13'
is
18446744073709551615 {77 Sunset Strip} [1 2 3 4]
You can drop the formatting altogether if you use "print" or "println"
instead of "printf". Those routines do fully automatic formatting.
The "print" function just prints its elements out using the equivalent
of "%v" while "println" automatically inserts spaces between arguments
and adds a newline. The output of each of these two lines is identical
to that of the "printf" call above.
--PROG progs/print.go 'NR==14' 'NR==15'
If you have your own type you'd like "printf" or "print" to format,
just give it a "String()" method that returns a string. The print
routines will examine the value to inquire whether it implements
the method and if so, use it rather than some other formatting.
Here's a simple example.
--PROG progs/print_string.go 'NR==5' END
Since "*T" has a "String()" method, the
default formatter for that type will use it and produce the output
77 Sunset Strip
Observe that the "String()" method calls "sprint" (the obvious Go
variant) to do its formatting; special formatters can use the "fmt"
library recursively.
Another feature of "printf" is that the format "%T" will print a string
representation of the type of a value, which can be handy when debugging
polymorphic code.
It's possible to write full custom print formats with flags and precisions
and such, but that's getting a little off the main thread so we'll leave it
as an exploration exercise.
You might ask, though, how "printf" can tell whether a type implements
the "String()" method. Actually what it does is ask if the value can
be converted to an interface variable that implements the method.
Schematically, given a value "v", it does this:
type String interface {
String() string
}
s, ok := v.(String); // Test whether v satisfies "String"
if ok {
result = s.String()
} else {
result = default_output(v)
}
The code tests if the value stored in
"v" satisfies the "String" interface; if it does, "s"
will become an interface variable implementing the method and "ok" will
be "true". We then use the interface variable to call the method.
(The ''comma, ok'' pattern is a Go idiom used to test the success of
operations such as type conversion, map update, communications, and so on,
although this is the only appearance in this tutorial.)
If the value does not satisfy the interface, "ok" will be false.
One last wrinkle. To complete the suite, besides "printf" etc. and "sprintf"
etc., there are also "fprintf" etc. Unlike in C, "fprintf"'s first argument is
not a file. Instead, it is a variable of type "io.Write", which is an
interface type defined in the "io" library:
export type Write interface {
Write(p []byte) (n int, err *os.Error);
}
Thus you can call "fprintf" on any type that implements a standard "Write()"
method, not just files but also network channels, buffers, rot13ers, whatever
you want.
