Go Assignment Operators

In Go, assignment operators are essential for assigning values to variables and performing operations efficiently. Below is an overview of these operators, their usage, and examples.

Basic Assignment Operator

The assignment operator (=) assigns a specific value to a variable. For example:

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    var ducati = 10
    fmt.Println(ducati)
}

package main

​

import "fmt"

​

func main() {

    var ducati = 10

    fmt.Println(ducati)

}

​

In this example, the value 10 is assigned to the variable ducati using the = operator.

Compound Assignment Operators

Compound assignment operators perform operations and assign the results back to variables. For instance, the addition assignment operator (+=) increases the value of a variable by a certain amount:

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    var yamaha = 10
    yamaha += 5
    fmt.Println(yamaha)
}

package main

​

import "fmt"

​

func main() {

    var yamaha = 10

    yamaha += 5

    fmt.Println(yamaha)

}

​

Here, yamaha += 5 is equivalent to yamaha = yamaha + 5.
