Overview
Go does not have formal enums, but the language allows for sets of related, yet distinct int constants. They represent a property that has several distinct possible int values, like the days of the weeks or the months of the year. They are declared using the pre-declared constant iota:
type DayOfTheWeek int
const (
MON DayOfTheWeek = iota
TUE
WED
THU
FRI
SAT
SUN
)
