No Inheritance – Type embedding

A struct to inherit the methods of another struct, here the current Person struct

type Person struct{
    name string
    age int
}

func (p Person) GetName()string{
  return p.name
}

func (p Person) GetAge()int{
  return p.age
}

A new struct type called Student  which has all the properties and methods of Person.

type Student struct{
Person
    studentId int
}

func (s Student) GetStudentID() int {
    return s.studentId
}

the type Person inside the struct definition of type Student, without specifying a field name. This will effectively make the Student type inherit all the exported methods and fields of the Person struct type.

s := Student{}
//This code is valid, because the method GetAge() belongs to the embedded type 'Person':
s.GetAge()
s.GetName()
