Difference between fmt.Println() and println() in Go

Question

As illustrated below, both fmt.Println() and println() give same output in Go: Hello world!

But: how do they differ from each

Answer 1

Interesting Example:

➜  netpoll git:(develop) ✗ cat test.go
package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
        a := new(struct{})
        b := new(struct{})
        println(a, b, a == b)

        c := new(struct{})
        d := new(struct{})
        fmt.Printf("%v %v %v\n", c, d, c == d)
}
➜  netpoll git:(develop) ✗ go run test.go       
0xc000074f47 0xc000074f47 false
&{} &{} true
➜  netpoll git:(develop) ✗ go run -gcflags="-m" test.go
# command-line-arguments
./test.go:12:12: inlining call to fmt.Printf
./test.go:6:10: new(struct {}) does not escape
./test.go:7:10: new(struct {}) does not escape
./test.go:10:10: new(struct {}) escapes to heap
./test.go:11:10: new(struct {}) escapes to heap
./test.go:12:35: c == d escapes to heap
./test.go:12:12: []interface {} literal does not escape
:1: .this does not escape
0xc000074f47 0xc000074f47 false
&{} &{} true

It is something difference between println and fmt.Printf.
