Annotated Example Go Program

// package main is a special package


// it allows Go to create an executable file
package main

/*
This is a multi-line comment.

import keyword makes another package available


for this .go "file".

import "fmt" lets you access fmt package's functionality


here in this file.
*/
import "fmt"

// "func main" is special.


//
// Go has to know where to start
//
// func main creates a starting point for Go
//
// After compiling the code,
// Go runtime will first run this function
func main() {
// after: import "fmt"
// Println function of "fmt" package becomes available

// Look at what it looks like by typing in the console:


// go doc -src fmt Println

// Println is just an exported function from


// "fmt" package

// Exported = First Letter is uppercase


fmt.Println("Hello Gopher!")

// Go cannot call Println function by itself.


// That's why you need to call it here.
// It only calls `func main` automatically.

// -----

// Go supports Unicode characters in string literals


// And also in source-code: KÖSTEBEK!
//
// Because: Literal ~= Source Code
