Hi Guys, I am reading "The Go Programming Language": Donovan, Kernighan (pg.31):
"One subtle but important point: a short variable declaration does not necessarily declare all the variables on the its left-hand side. If some of them were already declared in the same lexical block then then the short variable declaration acts like an assignment to those variables." I get that. "In the code below, the first statement declares both in and err. The second declares out but only assigns a value to the existing err variable: in, err := os.Open(infile) // ... out, err := os.Create(outfile) A short variable declaration must declare at least one new variable ...." My question is, the second declaration (out, err := os.Create(outfile)), is declaring a new var so why is the value from "os.Create(outfile)" not assigned to out? I understand that err is updated but again, why is no value assigned to the variable out? Thanks -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
