This is a bit of a trick question : there is no inheritance in Golang because it does not support classes.
However, you can mimic inheritance behavior using composition to use an existing struct object to define a starting behavior of a new object. Once the new object is created, functionality can be extended beyond the original struct.
type Animal struct {
// …
}
func (a *Animal) Eat() { … }
func (a *Animal) Sleep() { … }
func (a *Animal) Run() { … }
type Dog struct {
Animal
// …
}
The Animal struct contains Eat(), Sleep(), and Run() functions. These functions are embedded into the child struct Dog by simply listing the struct at the top of the implementation of Dog.
