What are some common errors in Go programming?

What are some common errors I might encounter while programming in Go?

Some common errors in Go include nil pointer dereferences, type assertion failures, and forgetting to handle errors.

Can you explain what a nil pointer dereference is?

A nil pointer dereference occurs when you try to access a method or property on a nil pointer, leading to a runtime panic.

How can I avoid type assertion failures?

To avoid type assertion failures, you can use the comma-ok idiom to check if the assertion is successful before using the value.

What should I do if I encounter a runtime panic?

If you encounter a runtime panic, you can use the recover function to regain control of the program and handle the error gracefully.
