Basic structure with setters and getters in Go.

main.go

package main
 
import(
    "fmt"
)
 
// Defining the data types we will use
// in our Person struct
type Person struct {
    name string
    age int
}
 
// Using a pointer as the setter will modify
// the name
func (p *Person) SetName(name string) {
    p.name = name
}
 
func (p *Person) SetAge(age int) {
    p.age = age
}
 
// No pointer here as we will just be accessing
// the name without modification
// Name is the idiomatic name for the getter as appose
// to GetName (golang.org/doc/effective_go.html#Getters)
func (p Person) Name() string {
    return p.name
}
 
func (p Person) Age() int {
    return p.age
}
 
func main() {
    // Empty initialisation
    person := Person{}
 
    person.SetName("Harry")
    person.SetAge(21)
 
    // Direct access from struct
    fmt.Println(person.name)
 
    // Accessing from the getter
    fmt.Println(person.Name())
 
    // Initialise upon declaration
    person = Person{name:"John", age:25}
 
    // Initialise upon declaration using
    // the order of the struct
    person = Person{"John", 25}
 
    // Or in reverse / any order if we specify
    person = Person{age:25, name:"John"}
 
    fmt.Println(person.Name())
    fmt.Println(person.Age())
