Hands-On System Programming with Go

Value and Type methods

A reflect.Value type also carries information of the type that can be retrieved with the Type method:

func main() {    var a interface{} = int64(23)    fmt.Println(reflect.TypeOf(a).String())    // int64    fmt.Println(reflect.ValueOf(a).String())    // <int64 Value>    fmt.Println(reflect.ValueOf(a).Type().String())    // int64}
