How to add given number of hours to the time in Golang

// Golang program to add given number of hours
// to the specified time

package main

import "fmt"
import "time"

func main() {
	ttime := time.Date(2020, 2, 5, 10, 5, 20, 0, time.UTC)

	res := ttime.Add(time.Hour * 8)
	fmt.Println("Time after 8 hours is: ", res)
}

In the above program, we imported the fmt package, which contains the files of the fmt package, and then we can use a function related to the fmt package. Here, we created a date-time object using Date() function. Then we added 8 hours to the created date-time object using Add() function.
