Declaring a Channel

The following statement declares a channel:

	c : chan of int;

This declares a channel named c that transports int values. Channels are a reference type, so there is no associated storage following the declaration. Its value is nil.

To initialize a channel and make it ready to send or receive data, you must use the assignment statement:

	c = chan of int;
