Boolean types

They are boolean types and consists of the two predefined constants: (a) true (b) false

Numeric types

They are again arithmetic types and they represents a) integer types or b) floating point values throughout the program.

String types

A string type represents the set of string values. Its value is a sequence of bytes. Strings are immutable types that is once created, it is not possible to change the contents of a string. The predeclared string type is string.

Derived types

They include (a) Pointer types, (b) Array types, (c) Structure types, (d) Union types and (e) Function types f) Slice types g) Interface types h) Map types i) Channel Types
