problem 1

Explain how the following design decision impacts any TWO of the above listed language-design criteria:

The Go language does not provide implicit numeric conversions (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..

For example, the following Go program does not compile:

package main import "fmt" func main() { var x int = 2 var y float64 y = x fmt.Println(x, y) }

problem 2

Explain how the following design decision impacts any TWO of the above listed language-design criteria.

In Go, array bounds are always checked, either statically or at runtime.

For example, the following Go program will fail with an out of bounds error:

package main import "fmt" func main() { var a [2]string fmt.Println(a[2]) }

problem 3

Explain how the following design decision impacts any TWO of the above listed language-design criteria:

The Go language is designed so that a program with unused variables or imports will not compile.

For example, the following Go program does not compile:

package main import "fmt" func main() { var x int
