Kaushal,


While questions are welcome, this is a really basic question.  Just a few 
minutes searching the web easily returns the answer.  I recommend you do a tiny 
bit of reading:

Hi,



I am learning Go and wanted to clarify something:

Does Go support pointers like languages such as C or C++?



If yes, what exactly can you do with pointers in Go?

For example:

  • Can you get the memory address of a variable?

  • Can you modify a variable through its pointer?

  • Does Go allow pointer arithmetic?

  • How are pointers commonly used in real Go programs?



I would appreciate a simple explanation or code examples to better understand 
how pointers work in Go.



Thanks in advance. 



Best regards,

Kaushal
