Consider type Int int var y int = Int(3)
The spec says A value x is assignable to a variable <https://golang.org/ref/spec#Variables> of type T ("x is assignable to T") if one of the following conditions applies: - x's type V and T have identical underlying types <https://golang.org/ref/spec#Types> and at least one of V or T is not a defined <https://golang.org/ref/spec#Type_definitions> type. - [other conditions] Here, x's type V is Int, whose underlying type is int, so the underlying types are the same. And one of V and T (namely, T, which is int) is not a defined type. So the spec says the assignment should work. But the playground says cannot use Int(3) (type Int) as type int in assignment -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
