# Short Variable Declarations

Inside a function, the := short assignment statement can be used in place of a var declaration with implicit type.

Outside a function, every statement begins with a keyword (var, func, and so on) and so the := construct is not available.


```
package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
	a := 10
	b := "golang"
	c := 4.17
	d := true
	e := "Hello"
	f := `Do you like my hat?`
	g := 'M'
	fmt.Printf("%v \n", a)
	fmt.Printf("%v \n", b)
	fmt.Printf("%v \n", c)
	fmt.Printf("%v \n", d)
	fmt.Printf("%v \n", e)
	fmt.Printf("%v \n", f)
	fmt.Printf("%v \n", g)
}

```

`%v` the value in a default format
`%v` will give you the values of variable 


```go
package main

import "fmt"

func main() {

	a := 10
	b := "golang"
	c := 4.17
	d := true
	e := "Hello"
	f := `Do you like my hat?`
	g := 'M'

	fmt.Printf("%T \n", a)
	fmt.Printf("%T \n", b)
	fmt.Printf("%T \n", c)
	fmt.Printf("%T \n", d)
	fmt.Printf("%T \n", e)
	fmt.Printf("%T \n", f)
	fmt.Printf("%T \n", g)
}
```

`%T` a Go-syntax representation of the type of the value
in this above go program %T provide you the type of variable
