Go Variadic Function

 Posted on May 16, 2021  (Last modified on May 23, 2021)  |  1 minutes  |  88 words  |  Akshay Gaikwad

Example of Go variadic function: func main() { nums := []int{1, 2, 3} // uses the existing slice s1 := sum(nums...) // creates a new slice s2 := sum(1, 2, 3) // Both s1 and s2 values are equal // Variadic func can be called with no argument s3 := sum() } func sum(nums ...int) (total int) { for _, n := range nums { total += n } } The common example is the Println function from the fmt package.

Pass slice to a function

 Posted on April 11, 2021  (Last modified on May 23, 2021)  |  1 minutes  |  104 words  |  Akshay Gaikwad

Here is an example of slice passed as value to a function: func main() { dirs := []string{"up", "down", "left", "right"} up(dirs) // dirs => []string{"UP", "DOWN", "LEFT", "RIGHT"} } func up(list []string) { // slice pointer points to a reference // even if they passed in a function. // So it modify the original slice // elements to upper case. for i := range list{ list[i] = strings.

Struct in Go

 Posted on March 30, 2021  (Last modified on May 23, 2021)  |  1 minutes  |  109 words  |  Akshay Gaikwad

Declare a struct: type person struct { name, lastname string age int } var alice struct { name, lastname string age int } Struct instance: picasso := person{ name: "Pablo", lastname: "Picasso", age: 91, } alice.name = "Alice" alice.lastname = "Wonderland" alice.age = 21 Note: Struct can be compared. You can’t compare struct values that contains incomparable fields. You need to compare them manually. Embed struct to another struct: type text struct { title string words int } type book struct { // embed the text text isbn string } Say b1 is instance of book stuct, then b1. [Read More]

Read standard input by line: import ( "bufio" "os" "fmt" ) func main() { // New scanner to read from stdin. // By default it reads line. ie. split // function defaults to ScanLines. in := bufio.NewScanner(os.Stdin) for in.Scan() { // Read line and print it. fmt.Println(in.Text()) } } Read by words: // Set split function to ScanWords before Scan() function. in.Split(bufio.ScanWords) for in.Scan() { .

Read Write files in Go

 Posted on March 22, 2021  (Last modified on March 25, 2021)  |  1 minutes  |  62 words  |  Akshay Gaikwad

Package ioutil implements I/O functions.

import "ioutil"

Read file:

config, error := ioutil.ReadFile("/etc/config")

Write to file:

error := ioutil.WriteFile("/etc/config", config, 0644)

Read direcrtory:

// ioutil.ReadDir returns slice of os.FileInfo
files, error := ioutil.ReadDir("/home/akshay")

if error != nil {
    // Handle error
}

for _, file := range files {
    // file.Size()
    // file.Name()
    // file.IsDir()
}

For more functions, read ioutil doc.

Map in Go

 Posted on March 19, 2021  (Last modified on March 25, 2021)  |  1 minutes  |  63 words  |  Akshay Gaikwad

Declare a map:

// Nil map: Read-Only
var di map[string]string


dict := map[string]string{
	"good":    "iyi",
	"great":   "harika",
	"perfect": "mükemmel",
}

Delete an element of the map using delete builtin:

delete(dict, "awesome")

Retrieve an value from map:

if value, ok := dict["great"]; ok {
    fmt.Printf("%q found in dict", value)
}

Iterate through map elements:

for key, value := range dict {
    fmt.Println(key, value)
}

Copy in Go

 Posted on March 1, 2021  (Last modified on March 11, 2021)  |  1 minutes  |  120 words  |  Akshay Gaikwad

Copy slice to another slice: evens := []int{2, 4} odds := []int{3, 5, 7} N := copy(evens, odds) fmt.Printf("%d element(s) are copied.\n", N) // evens after copy is, [3, 5] // odds is intact after copy, [3, 5, 7] copy can be used over append if want to keep length of target slice intact. If the source slice is bigger in size than destination, copy only copies slice elements that occupies in target slice. [Read More]

Full slice expression

Simple slice expression: “[low:high]” numbers := [10]int{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} s := numbers[1:4] fmt.Println(s) // [1, 2, 3] fmt.Println(len(s)) // len = 3 fmt.Println(cap(s)) // cap = 9 Full slice expression: “[low:high:max]” numbers := [10]int{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} s := numbers[1:4:5] fmt.Println(s) // [1, 2, 3] fmt.Println(len(s)) // len = 3 fmt.Println(cap(s)) // cap = 4 Full slice expression can be used for limit backing array sharing.

Slice append function in Go

 Posted on February 26, 2021  (Last modified on March 11, 2021)  |  1 minutes  |  54 words  |  Akshay Gaikwad

Append an element to the slice:

nums := []int{1, 2, 3}
nums = append(nums, 4)

Append multiple elements to the slice:

nums := []int{1, 2}
nums = append(nums, 3, 4)

Append slice to another slice:

nums := []int{1, 2}
tens := []int{11, 12}
nums = append(nums, tens...)

// nums is {1, 2, 11, 12}
