# Basics
|
|
|
|
Every Go program is made up of packages. Programs start running in
|
|
package \`main\`.
|
|
|
|
By convention the pacckage name is the same as the last element of the
|
|
import path. For instance, the \`math/rand\` package comprises files
|
|
that begin with the statement \`package rand\`.
|
|
|
|
``` go
|
|
package main
|
|
|
|
import (
|
|
"fmt"
|
|
"math/rand"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
func main() {
|
|
fmt.Println("My favorite number is", rand.Intn(10))
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Imports
|
|
|
|
It's best practice to convert multiple import statements to a "factored"
|
|
import statement:
|
|
|
|
``` go
|
|
package main
|
|
|
|
import "fmt"
|
|
import "math"
|
|
|
|
func main() {
|
|
fmt.Printf("This uses multiple import statements\n")
|
|
fmt.Printf("Now you have %g problems.\n", math.Sqrt(7))
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
should be
|
|
|
|
``` go
|
|
package main
|
|
|
|
import (
|
|
"fmt"
|
|
"math"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
func main() {
|
|
fmt.Printf("This uses a parenthesized \"factored\" import statement\n")
|
|
fmt.Printf("Now you have %g problems.\n", math.Sqrt(7))
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Exported names
|
|
|
|
In Go, a name is exported if it begins with a capital letter. When
|
|
importing a package, you can refer only to its exported names. Any
|
|
"unexported" names are not accessible from outside the package.
