value. We are allowed to assign a map variable to nil
. In that case, we will not be able to use that variable until we assign it to a new map variable. Put simply, if we try to store data on a nil

Coding example
This is illustrated in the next bit of code, which is the implementation of the main()
function of the nilMap.go
program.
