What are common runtime errors in Go and how can I fix them?

Common runtime errors in Go include nil pointer dereferences, index out of range, and type assertion failures. Would you like to know how to fix a specific one?

Yes, can you explain how to fix a nil pointer dereference?

To fix a nil pointer dereference, ensure that the pointer is initialized before use. You can check if it's nil using an if statement.

What about index out of range errors?

Index out of range errors occur when you try to access an element outside the bounds of a slice or array. Always check the length before accessing.

Thanks! Are there tools to help catch these errors?

Yes, tools like Go's built-in race detector and linters can help catch potential runtime errors during development.
