This is a simple Go program that defines two functions for addition and demonstrates their usage in the main function.

// Importing the "fmt" package, which provides functions for formatted I/O.
import "fmt"

// Function plus takes two integers (a and b) as parameters and returns their sum.
func plus(a int, b int) int {
    return a + b
}

// Function plusPlus takes three integers (a, b, and c) as parameters and returns their sum.
func plusPlus(a, b, c int) int {
    return a + b + c
}

// The main function, which serves as the entry point for the program.
func main() {
    // Calling the plus function with arguments 1 and 2, storing the result in the variable "res".
    res := plus(1, 2)
    
    // Printing the result of the addition operation.
    fmt.Println("1+2 =", res)

    // Calling the plusPlus function with arguments 1, 2, and 3, storing the result in the variable "res".
    res = plusPlus(1, 2, 3)
    
    // Printing the result of the addition operation.
    fmt.Println("1+2+3 =", res)
}

Output

1+2 = 3
1+2+3 = 6

Now, let's break down the code and explain each part:

1. Function Declarations:

   • plus(a int, b int) int: This function takes two integers (a and b) as parameters and returns their sum.
   • plusPlus(a, b, c int) int: This function takes three integers (a, b, and c) as parameters and returns their sum.

2. Main Function:

   • main(): This is the entry point of the program.

   • res := plus(1, 2): Calls the plus function with arguments 1 and 2, and stores the result in the variable res.

   • fmt.Println("1+2 =", res): Prints the result of the addition operation.

   • res = plusPlus(1, 2, 3): Calls the plusPlus function with arguments 1, 2, and 3, and stores the result in the variable res.

   • fmt.Println("1+2+3 =", res): Prints the result of the addition operation.
