Simple function with parameters in Golang
Information can be passed to functions through arguments. An argument is just like a variable.
Arguments are specified after the function name, inside the parentheses. You can add as many arguments as you want, just separate them with a comma.
The following example has a function with two arguments of int type. When the add() function is called, we pass two integer values (e.g. 20,30).
If the functions with names that start with an uppercase letter will be exported to other packages. If the function name starts with a lowercase letter, it won't be exported to other packages, but you can call this function within the same package.
Example
package main
import "fmt"
// Function accepting arguments
func add(x int, y int) {
total := 0
total = x + y
fmt.Println(total)
}
func main() {
// Passing arguments
add(20, 30)
}
