What are channels in Go and how do they work?

Channels in Go are a way for goroutines to communicate with each other. They allow you to send and receive values between goroutines.

Can you explain how to create a channel?

Sure! You can create a channel using the make function. For example: ch := make(chan int) creates a channel for integers.

How do I send and receive data using channels?

You can send data to a channel using the <- operator. For example, ch <- 5 sends the value 5 to the channel. To receive data, you use value := <-ch.

What happens if I try to send data to a full channel?

If you try to send data to a full channel, the sending goroutine will block until there is space available in the channel.
