How to use interfaces in go?

Here's an example of how to use Go's interfaces:
package main

import (
    "fmt"
)

// Define an interface with a single method
type Shape interface {
    Area() float64
}

// Define a struct that implements the Shape interface
type Rectangle struct {
    Width  float64
    Height float64
}

func (r Rectangle) Area() float64 {
    return r.Width * r.Height
}

// Define another struct that implements the Shape interface
type Circle struct {
    Radius float64
}

func (c Circle) Area() float64 {
    return 3.14 * c.Radius * c.Radius
}

func main() {
    // Create instances of the Rectangle and Circle structs
    r := Rectangle{Width: 10, Height: 5}
    c := Circle{Radius: 7}

// Create a slice of Shape objects and add the Rectangle and Circle objects to it
    shapes := []Shape{r, c}

// Iterate over the slice and print out the area of each shape
    for _, shape := range shapes {
        fmt.Println("Area:", shape.Area())
    }
}

In this example, we define an interface called Shape with a single method called Area(). We then define two structs, Rectangle and Circle, that both implement the Shape interface by providing their own Area() methods.
In the main() function, we create instances of the Rectangle and Circle structs and add them to a slice of Shape objects. We then iterate over the slice and call the Area() method on each shape, which prints out the area of the rectangle and circle.
By using interfaces, we can write generic code that can work with any type that implements the interface. This can make our code more flexible and easier to reuse.
