By: Navule Pavan Kumar Rao

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.

Summary

In this chapter, we have looked at various primitive data types, such as Boolean, numeric types such as integer and float, and string and rune. We also saw various operations, such as logical and relational operations on Boolean types. We then covered numeric types and learned about performing operations on numeric types, which included arithmetic, bitwise, and shift operations, along with detailed examples.

In the later parts of this chapter, we learned about string data types and understood various concepts of strings related to the mutability and immutability of a string. We also covered rune data types along with examples. In the final section of this chapter, we saw how to perform various operations such as string interpolation and different techniques to manipulate string types.

Having understood the primitive types in V, we will learn about working with complex types such as arrays and maps in V in the next chapter.
