<p>In go you can define a type using a set of methods by using the <code>interface</code> keyword.</p>
<pre><code class="language-go">type instrumentSounds interface {
makeBand() string
}
</code></pre>
<p>So this is our instrumentSounds interface which calls a function makeBand.</p>

<h2 id="the-empty-interface">The Empty Interface</h2>
<p>An empty interface can hold values that satisfy any type. It&#x27;s commonly used in code when the values types are unknown.</p>
<pre><code class="language-go">
func main() {
var myInterface interface{}
myInterface = 300
fmt.Println(myInterface)
myInterface = &quot;Hello world&quot;
fmt.Println(myInterface)
}
</code></pre>
<p>Even though the type is changed this program will still work fine because myInterface is an empty interface so it could be of any type.
In the latest of go the any type is supported, which is simply a type alias to the empty interface, and equivalent in all ways.</p></div><footer class="theme-doc-footer docusaurus-mt-lg"><div class="theme-doc-footer-tags-row row margin-bottom--sm"><div class="col"><b>Tags:</b><ul class="tags_jXut padding--none margin-left--sm"><li class="tag_QGVx"><a class="tag_zVej tagRegular_sFm0" href="/docs/tags/go-basics">Go Basics</a></li></ul></div></div><div class="theme-doc-footer-edit-meta-row row"><div class="col"><a href="https://github.com/foomo/foomo-docs/tree/main/foomo/docs/backend/go-by-example/interfaces.mdx" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="theme-edit-this-page"><svg fill="currentColor" height="20" width="20" viewBox="0 0 40 40" class="iconEdit_Z9Sw" aria-hidden="true"><g><path d="m34.5 11.7l-3 3.1-6.3-6.3 3.1-3q0.5-0.5 1.2-0.5t1.1 0.5l3.9 3.9q0.5 0.4 0.5 1.1t-0.5 1.2z m-29.5 17.1l18.4-18.5 6.3 6.3-18.4 18.4h-6.3v-6.2z"></path></g></svg>Edit this page</a></div><div class="col lastUpdated_vwxv"></div></div></footer></article><nav class="pagination-nav docusaurus-mt-lg" aria-label="Docs pages"><a class="pagination-nav__link pagination-nav__link--prev" href="/docs/backend/go-by-example/http"><div class="pagination-nav__sublabel">Previous</div><div class="pagination-nav__label">HTTP Client and Server</div></a><a class="pagination-nav__link pagination-nav__link--next" href="/docs/backend/go-by-example/map-racing"><div class="pagination-nav__sublabel">Next</div><div class="pagination-nav__label">Map Races</div></a></nav></div></div><div class="col col--3"><div class="tableOfContents_bqdL thin-scrollbar theme-doc-toc-desktop"><ul class="table-of-contents table-of-contents__left-border"><li><a href="#the-empty-interface" class="table-of-contents__link toc-highlight">The Empty Interface</a></li></ul></div></div></div></div></main></div></div></div><footer class="footer"><div class="container container-fluid"><div class="row footer__links"><div class="col footer__col"><div class="footer__title">github</div><ul class="footer__items clean-list"><li class="footer__item"><a href="https://github.com/foomo" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="footer__link-item">https://github.com/foomo</a></li></ul></div><div class="col footer__col"><div class="footer__title">legal</div><ul class="footer__items clean-list"><li class="footer__item"><a class="footer__link-item" href="/etc/imprint">Imprint</a></li></ul></div></div><div class="footer__bottom text--center"><div class="footer__copyright">© 2024 bestbytes</div></div></div></footer></div>
