pointers

Ampersands and Asterisks Go uses the same notation as C for pointers where the memory address of a variable x is &x and if we store this memory address in p then whatever is stored in that memory address is retrieved as *p. The unary operator & gives the address of an object /* Simple use of the & unary operator */ package main import "fmt" func main() { s := "I know your address" fmt.
