find variable type in golang

There are couple of ways to Find the Type of Variable in golang

Comparison: import and use reflect for comparing the variable

reflect.TypeOf Function

printing the Variable Type

Using %T with Printf

demo code

v1 := "string"
v2 := 2
v3 := 4.5
v4 := true
v5 := []string{"age", "name"}
v6 := map[string]float64{"apple": 3.2, "mango": 1.2}

fmt.Printf("v1: %T %s\n", v1, reflect.TypeOf(v1))
fmt.Printf("v2: %T %s\n", v2, reflect.TypeOf(v2))
fmt.Printf("v3: %T %s\n", v3, reflect.TypeOf(v3))
fmt.Printf("v4: %T %s\n", v4, reflect.TypeOf(v4))
fmt.Printf("v5: %T %s\n", v5, reflect.TypeOf(v5))
fmt.Printf("v6: %T %s\n", v6, reflect.TypeOf(v6))

output:

v1: string string
v2: int int
v3: float64 float64
v4: bool bool
v5: []string []string
v6: map[string]float64 map[string]float64
