The init() function is a special function in Go (Golang) that is automatically executed before the main function of the package. It is used to initialize state, perform one-time computations, or register a package for use with another package. The init() function is called after all the variable declarations in the package have evaluated their initializers, and those are evaluated only after all the imported packages have been initialized[2][3][4][6].
In Go, you can have multiple init() functions within a single package, and they will execute in the order they are presented in the code. If init() functions are spread across multiple files within the same package, they are executed in lexical file name order, which is typically alphabetical order of the file names[4][6]. This behavior ensures that all necessary setup and initialization tasks are completed before the program's main logic begins execution with the main() function.
It's important to note that the init() function does not take any arguments nor return any values. It is called implicitly by the Go runtime, and you cannot re...
