// The append built-in function appends elements to the end of a slice. If

// Append returns the updated slice. It is therefore necessary to store the
// result of append, often in the variable holding the slice itself:
//	slice = append(slice, elem1, elem2)
//	slice = append(slice, anotherSlice...)
// As a special case, it is legal to append a string to a byte slice, like this:
//	slice = append([]byte("hello "), "world"...)

// The copy built-in function copies elements from a source slice into a

// len(src) and len(dst).

// The len built-in function returns the length of v, according to its type:

//	Slice, or map: the number of elements in v; if v is nil, len(v) is zero.

//	Channel: the number of elements queued (unread) in the channel buffer;
//	if v is nil, len(v) is zero.

//	Pointer to array: the number of elements in *v (same as len(v)).
//	Slice: the maximum length the slice can reach when resliced;

// The make built-in function allocates and initializes an object of type
// slice, map, or chan (only). Like new, the first argument is a type, not a
// value. Unlike new, make's return type is the same as the type of its
// argument, not a pointer to it. The specification of the result depends on
// the type:
//	Slice: The size specifies the length. The capacity of the slice is
//	equal to its length. A second integer argument may be provided to
//	specify a different capacity; it must be no smaller than the
//	length, so make([]int, 0, 10) allocates a slice of length 0 and
//	capacity 10.
//	Map: An initial allocation is made according to the size but the
//	resulting map has length 0. The size may be omitted, in which case
//	a small starting size is allocated.
//	Channel: The channel's buffer is initialized with the specified
//	buffer capacity. If zero, or the size is omitted, the channel is
//	unbuffered.

// The complex built-in function constructs a complex value from two
// floating-point values. The real and imaginary parts must be of the same
// size, either float32 or float64 (or assignable to them), and the return
// value will be the corresponding complex type (complex64 for float32,
// complex128 for float64).
func complex(r, i FloatType) ComplexType

// The real built-in function returns the real part of the complex number c.
// The return value will be floating point type corresponding to the type of c.

// number c. The return value will be floating point type corresponding to
// the type of c.
func imag(c ComplexType) FloatType

// The close built-in function closes a channel, which must be either
// bidirectional or send-only. It should be executed only by the sender,
// never the receiver, and has the effect of shutting down the channel after
// the last sent value is received. After the last value has been received
// from a closed channel c, any receive from c will succeed without
// blocking, returning the zero value for the channel element. The form
//	x, ok := <-c
// will also set ok to false for a closed channel.
func close(c chan<- Type)

// The panic built-in function stops normal execution of the current
// goroutine. When a function F calls panic, normal execution of F stops
// immediately. Any functions whose execution was deferred by F are run in
// the usual way, and then F returns to its caller. To the caller G, the
// invocation of F then behaves like a call to panic, terminating G's
// execution and running any deferred functions. This continues until all
// functions in the executing goroutine have stopped, in reverse order. At
// that point, the program is terminated and the error condition is reported,
// including the value of the argument to panic. This termination sequence
// is called panicking and can be controlled by the built-in function
// recover.
func panic(v interface{})

// The recover built-in function allows a program to manage behavior of a
// panicking goroutine. Executing a call to recover inside a deferred
// function (but not any function called by it) stops the panicking sequence
// by restoring normal execution and retrieves the error value passed to the
// call of panic. If recover is called outside the deferred function it will
// not stop a panicking sequence. In this case, or when the goroutine is not
// panicking, or if the argument supplied to panic was nil, recover returns
// nil. Thus the return value from recover reports whether the goroutine is
// panicking.
func recover() interface{}

// The print built-in function formats its arguments in an implementation-
// specific way and writes the result to standard error.
// Print is useful for bootstrapping and debugging; it is not guaranteed
// to stay in the language.

// The println built-in function formats its arguments in an implementation-
// specific way and writes the result to standard error.
// Spaces are always added between arguments and a newline is appended.
// Println is useful for bootstrapping and debugging; it is not guaranteed

// The error built-in interface type is the conventional interface for
// representing an error condition, with the nil value representing no error.
