import ( "github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/core/types" "github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/common" ) func isValidBlockNumber(n uint64) bool { return n > 0 && common.IsHexAddress(n) }In both examples, we import the `github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/core/types` package and use the Block Number type to work with block numbers. Example 1 demonstrates how to get the latest block number using an Ethereum client, while Example 2 shows how to check if a given block number is valid.
