In this chapter, I describe the Go operators, which are used to perform arithmetic, compare values, and create logical expressions that produce true/false results. I also explain the process of converting a value from one type to another, which can be done using a combination of built-in language features and facilities provided by the Go standard library. Table 5-1 puts the Go operations and conversions in context.
