The "<-" operator is the channel receive operator. See https://golang.org/ref/spec#Channel_types and https://golang.org/ref/spec#Receive_operator. Those statements are retrieving the next value from a channel and assigning it to a variable. I recommend working through every example at https://tour.golang.org/. That is the easiest, quickest, way to gain a basic understanding of the Go language. Your question is addressed by the concurrency section of the tour: https://tour.golang.org/concurrency/1.
