Important Characteristics of Go: Error Variables
Explore how to use error variables in Go to distinguish between different input types such as integers, floating-point numbers, and invalid data. Understand the importance of checking input specificity from integers to floats and how to handle unexpected inputs effectively using slices and error handling techniques.

Using error variables to differentiate between input types
Now, let’s see a technique that uses error variables to differentiate between various kinds of user input. For this technique to work, we should go from more specific cases to more generic ones. If we are talking about numeric values, we should first examine whether a string is a valid integer before examining whether the same string is a floating-point value because every valid integer is also a valid floating-point value.
