# The Golang Playground
|
||
|
|
The Golang playground is a website where you can write Go code online, so that you don't have to set up any developmet environment.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
Just open a new browser window clicking [Playground](https://play.golang.org).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once there you'll get the buttons:
|
||
|
|
1. Run
|
||
|
|
2. Format
|
||
|
|
3. Imports
|
||
|
|
4. Share
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Run button sends the instruction to compile the code you wrote to the google servers that run the golang backend.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Format button implements the idiomatic formatting style of the language, you can read more [here](https://golang.org/pkg/fmt/)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Imports just check what packages you have declared within import(). An import path is a string that uniquely identifies a package. A package's import path corresponds to its location inside a workspace or in a remote repository (explained below). [More](https://golang.org/doc/code.html#ImportPaths)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With Share you get an URL where the code you just wrote is saved. Useful when asking for help showing your code.
