Go language provides inbuilt support implementation of run-time reflection and allowing a program to manipulate objects with arbitrary types with the help of reflect package. The reflect.IsValid() Function in Golang is used to check whether v represents a value. To access this function, one needs to imports the reflect package in the program.
Syntax: 
func (v Value) IsValid() bool
Parameters: This function does not accept any parameter. Return Value: This function returns whether v represents a value or not.
Below examples illustrate the use of the above method in Golang: Example 1: C 
// Golang program to illustrate
// reflect.IsValid() Function 
 
package main
 
import (
    "fmt"
    "reflect"
)

// Main function 
func main() {
    
    // Use of IsValid() method
    fmt.Println(reflect.Value{}.IsValid())
    fmt.Println(reflect.ValueOf(nil).IsValid())
}
Output: 
false
false
Example 2: C 
// Golang program to illustrate
// reflect.IsValid() Function 
 
package main
 
import (
    "fmt"
    "reflect"
)

// Main function 
func main() {
    var i *int
    v := reflect.ValueOf(i)
    v2 := v.Elem()
    
    // Use of IsValid() method
    fmt.Println(v2.IsValid())
    fmt.Println(reflect.ValueOf(nil).IsValid())

    fmt.Println(reflect.Indirect(v).IsValid())
    
}
Output: 
false
false
false
