Structs are often used in conjunction with methods in order to bundle data and its corresponding methods in a similar fashion to how classes are constructed in other languages. As we instantiate a new method, we can add struct values in order to enrich the function call.

We can instantiate a structure and a method as follows:

package main
import "fmt"
type User struct {
uid int
name string
email string
phone string
}

func (u User) displayEmail() {
fmt.Printf("User %d Email: %s\n", u.uid, u.email)
