- Iterate over things and do something
// Here we use range to sum the numbers in a slice. Arrays work like this too.
nums := []int{2, 3, 4}
sum := 0
for _, num := range nums {
sum += num
}
fmt.Println("sum:", sum)
// range on arrays and slices provides both the index and value for each
// entry. Above we didn’t need the index, so we ignored it with the blank
// identifier _. Sometimes we actually want the indexes though.
for i, num := range nums {
if num == 3 {
fmt.Println("index:", i)
}
}
// range on map iterates over key/value pairs.
kvs := map[string]string{"a": "apple", "b": "banana"}
for k, v := range kvs {
fmt.Printf("%s -> %s\n", k, v)
}
// range can also iterate over just the keys of a map.
for k := range kvs {
fmt.Println("key:", k)
}
// range on strings iterates over Unicode code points. The first value is the
// starting byte index of the rune and the second the rune itself.
for i, c := range "go" {
fmt.Println(i, c)
}
