# 2.8 Summary
|
|
|
|
In this chapter, we mainly introduced the 25 Go keywords. Let's review what they are and what they do.
|
|
```Go
|
|
break default func interface select
|
|
case defer go map struct
|
|
chan else goto package switch
|
|
const fallthrough if range type
|
|
continue for import return var
|
|
```
|
|
- `var` and `const` are used to define variables and constants.
|
|
- `package` and `import` are for package use.
|
|
- `func` is used to define functions and methods.
|
|
- `return` is used to return values in functions or methods.
|
|
- `defer` is used to define defer functions.
|
|
- `go` is used to start a new goroutine.
|
|
- `select` is used to switch over multiple channels for communication.
|
|
- `interface` is used to define interfaces.
|
|
- `struct` is used to define special customized types.
|
|
- `break`, `case`, `continue`, `for`, `fallthrough`, `else`, `if`, `switch`, `goto` and `default` were introduced in section 2.3.
|
|
- `chan` is the type of channel for communication among goroutines.
|
|
- `type` is used to define customized types.
|
|
- `map` is used to define map which is similar to hash tables in other languages.
|
|
- `range` is used for reading data from `slice`, `map` and `channel`.
|
|
|
|
If you understand how to use these 25 keywords, you've learned a lot of Go already.
