Constraints
Explore how Go generics use constraints to limit the types accepted by functions, focusing on the comparable constraint. Learn to write safer, type-restricted generic functions to handle only valid data types like numbers or strings, improving code reliability and clarity.

Let’s say that we have a function that works with generics that multiplies two numeric values. Should this function work with all data types? Can this function work with all data types? Can we multiply two strings or two structures? The solution for avoiding that kind of issue is the use of constraints.
Forget about multiplication for a while and think about something simpler. Let us ...
