I am reading the doc about Assignability in Golang Specification <https://golang.org/ref/spec#Assignability> . It says:
A value x is *assignable* to a variable <https://golang.org/ref/spec#Variables> of type T ("x is assignable to T") if one of the following conditions applies: - ... - x's type V and T have identical underlying types <https://golang.org/ref/spec#Types> and at least one of V or T is not a defined <https://golang.org/ref/spec#Type_definitions> type. - ... type str string func main() { string1 := "string" var str1 str = "str1" str1 = string1 // cannot use string1 (type string) as type str in assignment } string1's type string and str have identical underlying type (string) and string is not a defined type. So why cannot i assign string1 to str1? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
