Type Converstion in Go
Type conversion is used to convert an object or variable of one type into another. Also known as typecast or type casting in other languages.
Syntax
var newVar newType
newVar = newType(anotherTypeVar) //assuming another variable declaredNotes
The Go specification provides rules on type conversions.
Example
package main
func main(){
year := 2015 //inferred type int
var yearString string
yearString = string(year) //convert to string
}
