Go Conditions

This lesson is part of Go · All levels

Summary

This lesson discusses branching on Go with if and else. The terms in if do not need to be encapsulated, and Go supports the init statement so that the variable can be created and tested simultaneously in a single if block. This branching allows the program to select the blocks of code that are executed based on certain conditions.

Key points

If in Go without a curtain surrounding the condition
Go supporting the init statement: if x:= f(); x > 0 {...}
Else should be on the same line as the closing parenthesis if
The condition should be a bool, not a number.
