Overview of this book

A new language on the block, V comes with a promising set of features such as fast compilation and interoperability with other programming languages. This is the first book on the V programming language, packed with concise information and a walkthrough of all the features you need to know to get started with the language. The book begins by covering the fundamentals to help you learn about the basic features of V and the suite of built-in libraries available within the V ecosystem. You'll become familiar with primitive data types, declaring variables, arrays, and maps. In addition to basic programming, you'll develop a solid understanding of the building blocks of programming, including functions, structs, and modules in the V programming language. As you advance through the chapters, you'll learn how to implement concurrency in V Programming, and finally learn how to write test cases for functions. This book takes you through an end-to-end project that will guide you to build fast and maintainable RESTful microservices by leveraging the power of V and its built-in libraries. By the end of this V programming book, you'll be well-versed with the V programming language and be able to start writing your own programs and applications.

The string data type

A string is used to represent words, phrases, or paragraphs of text. It can hold all the alphanumeric characters, special characters, and symbols.

The syntax to declare a variable of string data type is shown here:

<VARIABLE_NAME> := '<TEXT>'

From the preceding syntax, we notice that the variable name to the left of the := symbol and value held by the variable is placed to the right. We also notice that the value held by the variable is enclosed in single quotes ('). V also allows you to declare variables with values enclosed in double quotes (").

For example, consider the following code snippet:

h := 'hello'
println(h) // hello
println(h.len) // 5
typeof(h).name // string

The preceding code demonstrates how to declare a string variable and the usage of the default field named len, which indicates the length of the string.
