Structs in Go

We use structs in Go to represent structured data. It's often convenient to group different types of variables together. For example, if we want to represent a car we could do the following:

type car struct {
	brand      string
	model      string
	doors      int
	mileage    int
}

This creates a new struct type called car. All cars have a brand, model, doors and mileage.

To create a car, use a struct literal:

myCar := car{
	brand:   "Toyota",
	model:   "Camry",
	doors:   4,
	mileage: 5000,
}

Structs in Go are often used to represent data that you might use a dictionary or object for in other languages.
