3. $GOPATH/pkg directory
4. Into a temporary directory.

2: There only lives Go source-code files

3: Go only puts your code there when you call go install.

2. It happens while your program is being compiled

Which one below is true for the compile-time?

1. It happens when your program starts running in a computer
2. It happens while your program is being compiled CORRECT

In which stage your program can print a message to the console?

1. While it's being compiled.
2. While it runs (after compile-time). CORRECT
3. While it runs (inside the compile-time).

1: In the compilation step your program cannot print a message. In that stage, it's literally dead.

2: That's right. That's the only time which your program can interact with a computer and instruct it to print a message to the console.

3: Running can only happen after the compile-time
