Overview of this book

A new language on the block, V comes with a promising set of features such as fast compilation and interoperability with other programming languages. This is the first book on the V programming language, packed with concise information and a walkthrough of all the features you need to know to get started with the language. The book begins by covering the fundamentals to help you learn about the basic features of V and the suite of built-in libraries available within the V ecosystem. You'll become familiar with primitive data types, declaring variables, arrays, and maps. In addition to basic programming, you'll develop a solid understanding of the building blocks of programming, including functions, structs, and modules in the V programming language. As you advance through the chapters, you'll learn how to implement concurrency in V Programming, and finally learn how to write test cases for functions. This book takes you through an end-to-end project that will guide you to build fast and maintainable RESTful microservices by leveraging the power of V and its built-in libraries. By the end of this V programming book, you'll be well-versed with the V programming language and be able to start writing your own programs and applications.

Chapter 9: Modules

Modular programming is the concept of logically grouping related functionalities together into modules and working with them. This approach enables you to wrap the related functionality into modules and allows you to import the required functionality that is available in those modules. V offers the concept of modular programming, allowing you to create and import modules that comprise code that is functionally or logically relevant in nature. To help you understand how to work with modules, in this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Introducing modules
  • Working with modules

To begin, you will learn about the basic syntax to define and import modules. In the later sections, you will explore how to create a simple project in V and then learn how to create and import modules defined in our simple project. Following this, you will learn how to create multiple files and work with them in a module, along with gaining an understanding of the...
