Go Notes: Variables

// Initialise variable with its zero value
// explicitly defining the variables type
var stuff string
// Assign a value to "stuff" variable
stuff = "stuff"

// Initialise variable and assign a value
var stuff string = "stuff"

// Shortcut method to initialise variable and assign a value
// The type will be inferred from the value
// This method can only be used inside a function
stuff := "stuff"

// Declare multiple variables on a single line
var stuff, things string = "stuff", "things"

// Alternate method to declare multiple variables
var (
    stuff = "stuff"
    things = "things"
)

// Constants are variables were the value cannot be changed
const stuff string = "stuff"
