If you are just dipping your toes into Go (Golang), the best place to start is, as always, with the timeless "Hello, World!" programme. This simple exercise is more than just a tradition; it is a clear introduction to Go's clean syntax, powerful standard library, and minimalist approach.

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    fmt.Println("Hello, World!")
}

package main Defines the package, where main is the entry point of the program.
import "fmt" Imports the fmt package, which is used for formatted I/O (like printing to the screen).
func main() Defines the main function, which is the entry point for any Go program.
