Pointers to structs

Struct fields can be accessed through a struct pointer.

To access the field X of a struct when we have the struct pointer p we could write (*p).X. However, that notation is cumbersome, so the language permits us instead to write just p.X, without the explicit dereference.

package main

import "fmt"

type Vertex struct {

X int

Y int

}

func main() {

v := Vertex{1, 2}

p := &v

p.X = 1e9

fmt.Println(v)

}
