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.

An Introduction to Programming in Go

### Alternative to Multiple `ifelse` Statements

We covered `if else` statements in the [previous lesson](https://www.educative.io/courses/introduction-to-programming-in-go/if-statement). However, most programming languages also have some sort of switch case statement
to allow developers to avoid doing complex and ugly series of `if else` 
statements.

Here's an example demonstrating the concept:
