Welcome to the Go Learning repository! This project is designed to guide you through the foundational elements of the Go programming language, making it an ideal starting point for beginners and a valuable resource for reinforcing your coding skills.

Go Learn The Basics

This is a simple Go program that prints "Hello, World!" to the console.

Getting Started

To run this program on your local machine, follow these steps:

1. Make sure you have Go installed. If not, you can download it here.

2. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/ouzdev/go-learn-the-basics

3. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd go-learn-the-basics

4. Run the program:

   go run syntax.go

Code Structure

The code is organized into the following sections:

• Package Declaration: Every Go program is part of a package. In this example, the program belongs to the main package.

• Import Statement: The import "fmt" statement imports the fmt package, which provides functions for formatting and printing.

• Main Function: The main function is the entry point of the program. Code inside its curly braces will be executed. Here, it prints "Hello, World!" to the console.

Code Compact Example

There's also a compact version provided in the comments, but it's not recommended for readability.

package main; import "fmt"; func main() {fmt.Println("Hello, World!")}
