The func keyword is used to declare a function. functionName is the name of the function you want to create. In the parentheses, you can include any parameters that the function requires.

The string keyword after the function name indicates that the function will return a value of type string. Inside the function, you can write any code that you like, including statements that manipulate strings or perform other operations.

Finally, the return statement is used to return a value from the function. In this case, we are returning a string value specified in the return statement.

Here is an example of a function named greeting that returns the string "Hello, World!":

main.go
func greeting() string {
    return "Hello, World!"
}
