The location of the Go Language import statement

This is a created article in which the information may have evolved or changed.

The following excerpt from the Go programming Language:

The import declarations must follow the package declaration. After this, a program consists of the declarations of functions, variables, constants, and types (introduced by the key wo RDS Func, VAR, const, and type); For the most part, the order of declarations does not matter.

importStatements must be followed by package definitions. Take a look at the following example:

package mainvar str string = "Hello world!\n"import "fmt"func main(){    // your code goes     fmt.Println(str)}

Compile as follows:

./prog.go:5: syntax error: unexpected import

Adjust the position of the statement:

package mainimport "fmt"var str string = "Hello world!\n"func main(){    // your code goes     fmt.Println(str)}

Compile execution succeeded:

Hello world!
