What is the full name for "iota" in golang?

Question

As a header, what is the full name for iota (and not use) in golang:

 const ( // iota is reset to 0 c0 = iota // c0 == 0 c1 = iota // c1 == 1 c2 = iota // c2 == 2 ) 

Answer 1

This full name is in itself. "iota" is the letter of the Greek alphabet. This is typical of mathematical notation:

• as an iterator in sums and algorithms
• as an index
• for the imaginary part of complex numbers

You can find it in other programming languages ​​(see iota in the diagram ).
