    str := "Hello"
    str := "Jorge"

    stringLength, err := fmt.Println(str1, str2, str3)
    # Prints Hello Jorge

    if err == nil {
        fmt.Println("string length:", stringLength)
    }
}
```

**Printf**

`fmt.Printf("value of a Number: %v\n", aNumber)`

got a lot of % stuff like `%T` for type

**Sprintf** is like printf but returns the value

func main() {
    reader := bufio.newReader(os.Stdin)
    fmt.Print("Enter text: ")
    str, _ := reader.ReadString('\n') #read string
    fmt.Println(str)

    fmt.Print("Enter a number: ")
    str, _ = reader.ReadString('\n') 
    trimStr := strings.TrimSpace(str) # read and parse float
    f, err := str.conv.ParseFloat(trimStr, 64)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println(err)
    } else {
        fmt.Println("Value of number:", f)
    }
