A structure or
struct in Golang is a user-defined data type that allows to combine data types of different kinds and act as a record.
A struct variable in Golang can be copied to another variable easily using the
assignment statement(=). Any changes made to the second struct will not be reflected back to the first struct.
Example 1:
Output:
{Vani 98 20024}
{Vani 98 20024}
{Abc 98 20025}
In the case of pointer reference to the struct, the underlying memory location of the original struct and the pointer to the struct will be the same. Any changes made to the second struct will be reflected in the first struct also. Pointer to a struct is achieved by using the
ampersand operator(&). It is allocated on the heap and its address is shared.
Example 2:
Output:
{Vani Delhi 20024}
&{Vani Delhi 20024}
&{Abc Hyderabad 20024}
{Abc Hyderabad 20024}
