How to create an array of struct in golang as we create in C

Question

I want to create an array of struct in golang as we create in C. I am trying to create like this, but is not working.

type State struct{
    name string
    population string
}st[5]

The number of elements in an array goes before, not after, the element type. So that would be type State [5]struct{name string; population string}. — user1804599

Given a definition of a Struct

type State struct{
    name string
    population string
}

You have several ways. You can declare an array of 5 States

var states [5]State

Or you can assign (and autodeclare) in one line

var states = [5]State{}

or

states := State{}

You may want to start from the Go documentation.
