What is the difference between parameter and receiver

Question

I am following a Go tutorial and am stuck as I cant understand a particular method signature:

func (p *Page) save() error {
    filename := p.Title + \".txt\         


        

Answer 1

The receiver is the object on what you declare your method.

When want to add a method to an object, you use this syntax.
