Syntax to define a channel
In this section, we will look at the syntax for defining a channel. Channels are a built-in feature in V, and you are not required to import any package to use them. The chan keyword is used to define a channel in V. To define a channel, you can use the following syntax:
CHANNEL_VARIABLE := chan DATA_TYPE{OPTIONAL_CAPACITY: CAPACITY_VALUE}
In this syntax, the channel variable will be of the chan DATA_TYPE. OPTIONAL_CAPACITY type. This is a syntactical representation of the cap property that accepts an integer value. The cap property is available on a channel variable that represents the capacity of the values the channel could hold. The type could be any type, such as a primitive type, or it could be a struct, a map, or an array.
Having understood the basic syntax, we will learn about unbuffered channels and buffered channels in the following subsections.
Unbuffered channel
A channel defined without capacity is referred to as an unbuffered...
