How does Go handle errors?

The question is about go

Answer

Go handles errors explicitly, which is a fundamental aspect of the language's design philosophy. Instead of using exceptions like many other languages, Go functions often return an error as the last return value. This approach requires developers to check for errors after each function call, promoting a culture of careful error handling. While this may lead to more verbose code, it encourages developers to consider error cases and handle them appropriately. Additionally, Go provides the 'errors' package, which allows developers to create and manipulate error values effectively. This explicit error handling model contributes to more robust and reliable applications.
