How do I use methods in Go programming?

Can you explain how to use methods in Go programming?

Sure! In Go, methods are functions that are associated with a type. You define a method by specifying a receiver.

What is a receiver in this context?

A receiver is a special variable that you define in the method's signature. It allows the method to access the data of the type it belongs to.

Can you give me an example of a method in Go?

Absolutely! Here's a simple example:

package main

type Circle struct {
    radius float64
}

func (c Circle) Area() float64 {
    return 3.14 * c.radius * c.radius
}

This defines a method Area for the Circle type.

How do I call this method?

You can call the method like this:

c := Circle{radius: 5}
area := c.Area()
fmt.Println(area)

This will print the area of the circle.
