Go syntax interview questions are the first thing every interviewer reaches for when screening a Go fresher. This module covers the building blocks of the Go language — how Go's type system works (every variable has a type, zero values mean no uninitialized state), the short variable declaration := vs var (and when each is used), all basic types (bool, int, float64, string, byte, rune), constants including the iota enumerator pattern, Go's single loop construct for (for loop, while-style for, range loop), switch without fallthrough by default, basic pointer syntax (the & address-of operator, the * dereference operator — and why Go pointers are safer than C pointers), and the blank identifier _ for discarding values. Every answer explains the design decision behind the feature — why Go has only one loop construct, why zero values eliminate a class of bugs — so you understand not just the syntax but the reasoning interviewers expect you to articulate.
