How do I work with constants and iota in Go?

Working with Constants and iota in Go

In Go, constants are declared using the `const` keyword and are similar to variables, but their values cannot be changed. The `iota` identifier simplifies the creation of incrementing numbers for constants. Each time the `iota` keyword is used in a constant declaration, it increments by one, starting from zero. This feature is especially useful for defining enumerated constants.

Here’s an example demonstrating how to use constants and `iota`:

const ( a = iota // 0 b // 1 c // 2 d // 3 ) func main() { fmt.Println(a, b, c, d) // Output: 0 1 2 3 }
