Go by example

Outline

Basics

Basic Syntax

• Program structure

  1 2 3 4 5

  package main // 包声明 - 每个Go程序都必须有一个main包 import "fmt" // 导入包 func main() { fmt.Println("Hello, World!") }

• Variable declaration

  • var a int = 10, the type comes after the name
  • Short declaration: b := "hello", no type annotation needed, used inside functions
  • Constants: const pi = 3.14

• Data types

  • Basic types: int, float64, bool, string
  • Derived types: pointers, arrays, structs, slices, maps, channels

Package Management

• Module initialization
  go mod init <module-name>
• Importing packages

  1 2 3 4

  import ( "fmt" "math/rand" )

• A name in a package is exported (public) if its first letter is uppercase, and private if it is lowercase
• Packages are Go’s basic unit of organization, similar to libraries or modules in other languages; one package = all the .go files in one directory

Control Flow

Conditionals

if x > 0 {
    // ...
} else {
    // ...

for i := 0; i < 5; i++ {
    // ...
}

// while等效
for x < 100 {
    // ...
}

switch day {
case "Mon":
    fmt.Println("周一")
default:
    fmt.Println("其他")
}

Equivalent to having break added automatically; use fallthrough to continue into the next case.

Data Structures

Arrays and Slices

// 数组（固定长度）
arr := [3]int{1, 2, 3}

// 切片（动态数组）
slice := []int{1, 2}
slice = append(slice, 3) // 添加元素

Map

1

m := make(map[string]int)
m["age"] = 25
delete(m, "age")  // 删除键

Structs

type Person struct {
    Name string
    Age  int
}
p := Person{Name: "Tom", Age: 30}

func add(a, b int) int {
    return a + b
}

// 多返回值
func swap(x, y string) (string, string) {
    return y, x
}

Methods (Receivers)

type Circle struct { Radius float64 }

func (c Circle) Area() float64 {
    return 3.14 * c.Radius * c.Radius
}

type Shape interface {

func printArea(s Shape) {
    fmt.Println(s.Area())
}

// Goroutine
go func() {

}()

// Channel
ch := make(chan int)
go func() { ch <- 1 }()  // 发送
value := <-ch            // 接收

select {
case msg1 := <-ch1:
    fmt.Println(msg1)
case ch2 <- "hi":
    // 发送成功
}

result, err := someFunction()
if err != nil {
    log.Fatal(err)
}
defer file.Close() // 确保资源释放
