As Moore’s Law is reaching the end of its lifecycle, the need for concurrency is rising and consequently, the need for a programming language that enables effective implementation of concurrent programs is rising too. For this reason, Go has become one of the most popular languages in recent times. This course aims to provide a detailed introduction to Go for beginners. Furthermore, it also articulates how Go is different from traditional programming languages that programmers are accustomed to in order to acquaint programmers getting ready to delve into Go with the language too.

# List of Built In Types

The following are the built in types in Go:

## Common Types

|     |    |
|------|-----|
|`bool`| true or false|
|`string`|an array of characters|

## Numeric types

|         |                          |
|---------|--------------------------|
|`uint`   |     either 32 or 64 bits.|
|`int`    |     same size as uint.   |
|`uintptr`| an unsigned integer large enough to store the uninterpreted bits of a pointer value|
|`uint8`  |     the set of all unsigned  8-bit integers (0 to 255)|
|`uint16` |     the set of all unsigned 16-bit integers (0 to 65535)|
|`uint32` |     the set of all unsigned 32-bit integers (0 to 4294967295)|
|`uint64` |     the set of all unsigned 64-bit integers (0 to 18446744073709551615)|
|`int8`   |     the set of all signed  8-bit integers (-128 to 127)|
|`int16`  |     the set of all signed 16-bit integers (-32768 to 32767)|
|`int32`  |    the set of all signed 32-bit integers (-2147483648 to 2147483647)|
|`int64`  |     the set of all signed 64-bit integers (-9223372036854775808 to 9223372036854775807)|
|`float32`|    the set of all IEEE-754 32-bit floating-point numbers|
|`float64` |    the set of all IEEE-754 64-bit floating-point numbers|
|`complex64` |  the set of all complex numbers with `float32` real and imaginary parts|
|`complex128` | the set of all complex numbers with `float64` real and imaginary parts|
|`byte`   |     alias for `uint8`|
|`rune`   |     alias for `int32` (represents a Unicode code point)|
