Structs

A struct is a custom type that groups related values together under named fields.

syntax​

a struct type has this syntax:

struct{}

to declare one use a type statement:

type Person struct {
    Name string
}

typed fields​

you can put fields in it, then put the corresponding type after it

struct {
    X int
    Y int
}

struct literals​

to make a literal just add another pair of braces and initalise the fields

struct{X int}{X: 12}

accessing fields​

if you have a variable which has a struct value you can access its fields using the . operator

egg pos = struct{
    X int
    Y int
}{
    X: 12,
    Y: 4,
}

putln(pos.X)

output:

12

zero value​

the zero value of a struct is just a struct with the default value of every field inside it

for example,

type Person struct {
    Name string
}

the default value for Person would be:

Person{Name: ""}
