Using Generics in Go Structures

Using Generics in Go Structures

Let’s learn how to use generics in Go structures.

We'll cover the following...

In this lesson, we are going to implement a linked list that works with generics—this is one of the cases where the use of generics simplifies things because it allows us to implement the linked list once while being able to work with multiple data types.

Coding example

The structures.go code is the following:

Press + to interact
package main
import (
	"fmt"
)
type node[T any] struct {
	Data T
	next *node[T]
}

The node structure uses generics in order to support nodes that can store all kinds of data. This does not mean that the next field of a node can point to another node with a Data field with a different ...
