Error "cannot convert data (type interface{}) to type string": type assertion in Go
Hello everyone! I'm new to Go and encountered a problem that I can't solve for the second day. I have a function that receives data from an external API as `interface{}`. I'm trying to convert it to a string, but the compiler gives an error: "cannot convert data (type interface{}) to type string: need type assertion".
Here's my code:
```go
package main
import "fmt"
func processData(data interface{}) string {
// Trying to convert interface{} to string
result := string(data)
return result
}
func main() {
var val interface{} = "Hello, World!"
result := processData(val)
fmt.Println(result)
}
```
