Functions

Post Example
Examples in Go
Functions in Go
by yhuang Go fmt.Println fmt 
package main

import "fmt"

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

func plusPlus(a, b, c int) int {
    return a + b + c
}

func main() {
    res := plus(1, 2)
    fmt.Println("1+2 =", res)

    res = plusPlus(1, 2, 3)
    fmt.Println("1+2+3 =", res)
}
Return Multiple Values in Go
by yhuang Go fmt.Println fmt
Go has built-in support for multiple return values. This feature is used often in idiomatic Go, for example to return both result and error values from a function.
package main

import "fmt"

func vals() (int, int) {
    return 3, 7
}

func main() {
    a, b := vals()
    fmt.Println(a)
    fmt.Println(b)

    // If you only want a subset of the returned values, use the blank identifier _.
    _, c := vals()
    fmt.Println(c)
}
Variadic Functions in Go
by yhuang Go fmt fmt.Print fmt.Println
Variadic functions can be called with any number of trailing arguments. For example, fmt.Println is a common variadic function.
package main

import "fmt"

func sum(nums ...int) {
    fmt.Print(nums, " ")
    total := 0
    for _, num := range nums {
        total += num
    }
    fmt.Println(total)
}

func main() {
    sum(1, 2)
    sum(1, 2, 3)

    nums := []int{1, 2, 3, 4}
    sum(nums...)
}
Closures in Go
by yhuang Go fmt.Println fmt 
package main

import "fmt"

func intSeq() func() int {
    i := 0
    return func() int {
        i++
        return i
    }
}

func main() {
    nextInt := intSeq()

    fmt.Println(nextInt())
    fmt.Println(nextInt())
    fmt.Println(nextInt())

    newInts := intSeq()
    fmt.Println(newInts())
}
Recursion in Go
by yhuang Go fmt fmt.Println 
package main

import "fmt"

func fact(n int) int {
    if n == 0 {
        return 1
    }
    return n * fact(n-1)
}

func main() {
    fmt.Println(fact(7))
}
