Basically, the type-size combo lets us allocate specific size space in our memory, so using only big sizes might leave us with none of it, or make the app behave slower. Always choose sizes according to your needs. Here is a chart that might help you choose

A big size (XL) int64, is a 64bit integer, and it can store numbers starting from -9223372036854775808 to 9223372036854775807 (yes that’s a lot). Choosing this size to store a rating from 0 to 100 is like putting a 5 year-old in grown mans’ clothes, and vice versa

These are the data types, but what about the sizes? Well sizes are a bit more tricky. Size is measured in bytes. In computers everything is base 2, so we have 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64… Same goes for data sizes. You use different sizes when you want to fit a value in the memory

Ahh, booleans. The on and off switch. A single purpose of a boolean value is to control flow. What you need to know is that they can hold only one of two values, either true or false. No more, no less. I promise, bools will make more sense once we introduce control structures

Float comes from “floating-point number”. In Go it’s used for decimal numbers. Computers are weird, as you’ll see, so they need two different number types to be able to handle math. Almost everything that applies to ints, applies here with some exceptions, explained later

Integers are the whole numbers, positive and negative, including zero. Besides the obvious math use case, integers are often used as iterators to control workflows (which still is math). Unlike strings, ints are written directly without quotes

Q: “So all this is bull!!? I don’t really need all these other types, strings got me covered”
A: Well... Have you tried doing addition with two string-numbers? Guess not. Strings are good but numbers are where math’s at. To calculate something, strings are no-good, you need ints and floats

When represented in Go code, we write them enclosed in “double quotes” or `backticks`. The difference between the two is that double quotes work on single line strings, and backticks can be used with multiline strings

Let's get started with strings. A string is a formation of characters, and when I say character, I mean ALL OF THEM. Including but not limited to numbers (whole and decimal), special signs and letters (big, small, of all alphabets), and emojis (yes, emojis 👍)
