Go has a unique approach to error handling, treating errors as values that can be passed around and manipulated just like any other values. The language also provides several packages and built-ins in the standard library for working with file systems and performing I/O operations.
In this course, you'll explore how errors are handled in Go using error values. You'll learn how to handle errors by importing and using package errors and work with custom error types. You'll examine how to implement Go's defer statement along with the built-in panic and recover functions to handle and recover from real-time errors. Finally, you'll learn about file input and output and how to perform basic I/O operations on files and directories.
