Go Empty Interface
In Go, the empty interface is a special type that has no methods defined on it. It is declared using an empty set of parentheses:

The empty interface can hold values of any type, since every type in Go satisfies the empty interface. This means that it can be used as a generic container for any kind of data.
Here's an example of how to use the empty interface in Go:
func printInterfaceValue(value interface{}) { fmt.Println(value) } func main() { // Declare variables of different types str := "hello" num := 42 arr := []int{1, 2, 3} // Call the function with each variable printInterfaceValue(str) printInterfaceValue(num) printInterfaceValue(arr) }
In this example, a function printInterfaceValue
takes an empty interface value as its argument and simply prints it to the console. Three variables of different types are declared and passed to the function, demonstrating that the empty interface can hold values of any type.
