GoLang Lesson 4: Understanding Float and Complex Numbers

Welcome to Lesson 4 of our GoLang course! In this lesson, we will cover the float data types and complex numbers.

We begin by exploring float data types in Go and discuss the importance of using them with caution, particularly in scenarios where precision is critical. Floats in Go follow the IEEE 754 standard, and understanding their limitations will aid you in writing accurate and reliable code.

Moving on to complex numbers, we’ll cover their fundamentals and how they differ from other numerical data types. Complex numbers are particularly useful in various scientific and mathematical applications, and understanding their properties will broaden your programming capabilities.

As a valuable resource, I have included a link to further explore IEEE 754, the standard used for floating-point arithmetic:
