Is there a foreach loop in Go?
From For statements with range clause:
A "for" statement with a "range" clause iterates through all entries of an array, slice, string or map, or values received on a channel. For each entry it assigns iteration values to corresponding iteration variables and then executes the block.
As an example:
for index, element := range someSlice {
// index is the index where we are
// element is the element from someSlice for where we are
}
If you don't care about the index, you can use _
:
for _, element := range someSlice {
// element is the element from someSlice for where we are
}
The underscore, _
, is the blank identifier, an anonymous placeholder.
Go has a foreach
-like syntax. It supports arrays/slices, maps and channels.
Iterate over an array or a slice:
// index and value
for i, v := range slice {}
// index only
for i := range slice {}
// value only
for _, v := range slice {}
Iterate over a map:
// key and value
for key, value := range theMap {}
// key only
for key := range theMap {}
// value only
for _, value := range theMap {}
Iterate over a channel:
for v := range theChan {}
Iterating over a channel is equivalent to receiving from a channel until it is closed:
for {
v, ok := <-theChan
if !ok {
break
}
}
Following is the example code for how to use foreach in Go:
package main
import (
"fmt"
)
func main() {
arrayOne := [3]string{"Apple", "Mango", "Banana"}
for index,element := range arrayOne{
fmt.Println(index)
fmt.Println(element)
}
}
