Exercise 2

Question

Write a program where you declare a constant called value that can be assigned to both an integer and a floating point variable. Assign it to an integer called i and a floating point variable called f. Print out i and f.

Solution

To solve this, make value an untyped constant that's assigned an integer literal value. You can then assign it to both an int and a float64. Since the value of value is an integer literal (which has a default type of int), you do not need to specify the type for i and can use the short declaration format. However, to make f a float64, you need to specify its type.
