Yes you can and it is slightly more nuanced than it seems.
To start with, you can do something as plain as:
var a, b, x, y int // declares four variables all of type int
You can use the same syntax in function parameter declarations:
func foo(a, b string) { // takes two string parameters a and b
...
}
Then comes the short-hand syntax for declaring and assigning a variable at the same time.
x, y := "Hello", 10 // x is an instance of `string`, y is of type `int`
An oft-encountered pattern in Golang is:
result, err := some_api(...) // declares and sets `result` and `err`
if err != nil {
// ...
return err
}
result1, err := some_other_api(...) // declares and sets `result1`, reassigns `err`
if err != nil {
return err
}
So you can assign to already-defined variables on the left side of the := operator, so long as at least one of the variables being assigned to is new. Otherwise it's not well-formed. This is nifty because it allows us to reuse the same error variable for multiple API calls, instead of having to define a new one for each API call. But guard against inadvertent use of the following:
result, err := some_api(...) // declares and sets `result` and `err`
if err != nil {
// ...
return err
}
if result1, err := some_other_api(...); err != nil { // result1, err are both created afresh,
// visible only in the scope of this block.
// this err shadows err from outer block
return err
}
Several answers are incorrect: they ignore the fact that the OP is asking whether it is possible to set several variables to the same value in one go (sorry for the pun).
In go, it seems you cannot if a, b, c are variables, ie you will have to set each variable individually:
