Overview

Below is a simple way to initialize or create a string in Go. In the below program, we have simply declared as well as defined a string named sample

Notice the syntax

sample := "test"

Here is the full program

Program

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
	sample := "test"
	fmt.Println(sample)
}

Output

test

If we want to only declare a string variable then below is the way. A declared string is initialized to an empty string

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    var sample string
    fmt.Println(sample)
}

Output
