Interfaces in Go
New Course Coming Soon:
Get Really Good at Git
An interface is a type that defines one or more method signatures.
Methods are not implemented, just their signature: the name, parameter types and return value type.
Something like this:
type Speaker interface {
Speak()
}
Now you could have a function accept any type that implements all the methods defined by the interface:
func SaySomething(s Speaker) {
s.Speak()
}
And we can pass it any struct that implements those methods:
type Speaker interface {
Speak()
}
type Person struct {
Name string
Age int
}
func (p Person) Speak() {
fmt.Println("Hello from " + p.Name)
}
func SaySomething(s Speaker) {
s.Speak()
}
func main() {
flavio := Person{Age: 39, Name: "Flavio"}
SaySomething(flavio)
}
Are you intimidated by Git? Can’t figure out merge vs
rebase? Are you afraid of screwing up something any time
you have to do something in Git? Do you rely on ChatGPT
or random people’s answer on StackOverflow to fix your
problems? Your coworkers are tired of explaining Git to
you all the time? Git is something we all need to use,
but few of us really master it. I created this course to
improve your Git (and GitHub) knowledge at a radical
level. A course that helps you feel less frustrated with
Git. Launching Summer 2024. Join the waiting list!
