Overview
Function Definition
A function is operation performed on a number of inputs resulting in a number of outputs. Same inputs will always result in the same outputs, function do not depend on state.
Syntax
func [value-receiver] <name>([parameter-identifier1] [type1], [parameter-identifier2] [type2], ...) ([return-type1], [return-type2], ...) {
statement1
statemen2
...
return <return-value1>, <return-value2>
}
Examples:
func add(a int, b int) (int) {
return a + b;
}
