What is type uint32 in Golang?

Variables contain data, and data can be of different data types, or types for short. Golang is a statically typed language; this means the compiler must know the types of all the variables, either because they were explicitly indicated or because the compiler can infer the type from the code context. A type defines the set of values and the set of operations that can take place on those values.

Type uint32 in Golang is the set of all unsigned 32-bit integers. The set ranges from 0 to 4294967295. Below is how you declare a variable of type uint32:

var var_name uint32

Example

package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
var var1 uint32 = 10000
fmt.Printf("Type of var1: %T", var1)
}

Explanation

The above code declares the variable var1 with type uint32, and displays its type using the Printf method from the fmt package.
