A structure is a collection of primitive data types or even other structures and they inherit the default values of the types they are made out of. The default value of a structure (struct) in the Go programming language is the default value of its members.

Example:

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// default value of a structure variable

package main

import "fmt"

type Person struct {
	Name string
	Age  int
	Perc float32
}

func main() {
	var P Person

	fmt.Printf("Default value: %v\n", P)
}

Output:

Default value: { 0 0}
