If – else if – else
Branching with "if" "else if" and else in Go is straight-forward.
You can use this syntax to do difference logic code base on condition which you send to statements.
In this example, I use a build-in lib of golang to get time now of your PC in Unix format, that is a number of integer
time.Now().Unix()
So, you need to import it to use “time”
Now, we want to check n with
% 2 is 0 (that mean n Divisible by 2) and the same, % 4, % 6. If this condition is true. Print stuff look like n % 4 == 0 and n
else -> print only value of n
// basic syntax
if condition1 {
// TODO
} else if condition2 {
// TODO
} else if condition 3 {
// TODO
} else {
// TODO
}
package main
import (
"fmt"
"time"
)
// for if/esle statements
func main() {
n := time.Now().Unix()
// if - else if - else
if n%2 == 0 {
fmt.Println("n % 2 == 0", n)
} else if n%4 == 0 {
fmt.Println("n % 4 == 0", n)
} else if n%6 == 0 {
fmt.Println("n % 6 == 0", n)
} else {
fmt.Println("n == ", n)
}
}
Loop logic
When you want to do something and that logic repeatedly, you can use “for” statements. Other name: for loop
In this tutorial you will learn how to repeat a block of code execution using loops in Golang.
Golang – traditional for Statement
The for loop is used when you know in advance how many times the script should run.
Consider the following example, display the numbers from 1 to 10 in three different ways.
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
k := 1
for ; k <= 10; k++ {
fmt.Println(k)
}
k = 1
for k <= 10 {
fmt.Println(k)
k++
}
for k := 1; ; k++ {
fmt.Println(k)
if k == 10 {
break
}
}
}

Switch and case
If you understood if/else statement, “switch/case” is an other branching statement. You can also use this syntax to do difference logic code base on condition which you send to statements. But, with switch/case, we can use condition base on value of variable or a complex comparison
Here’s a basic switch syntax.
variable := real_value
switch variable {
case value1: // real_value == value1
{// TODO}
case value2: // real_value == value2
{// TODO}
case ...: // real_value == ...
{// TODO}
default:
{// no case matched -> do something as default}
}If you not use variable for switch, case is a condition -> the same with if/else statement
switch {
case condition1:
{
}
case condition2:
{
}
...
default:
{
}
}Example with basic
i := 2
fmt.Print("Write ", i, " as ")
switch i {
case 1:
fmt.Println("one")
case 2:
fmt.Println("two")
case 3:
fmt.Println("three")
}
You can use commas to separate multiple expressions in the same case statement. We use the optional defaultcase in this example as well.
i := 2
switch {
case 1, 2:
fmt.Println(i)
default:
fmt.Println("100000")
}
switch without an expression is an alternate way to express if/else logic
t := time.Now()
switch {
case t.Hour() < 12:
fmt.Println("It's before noon")
default:
fmt.Println("It's after noon")
}
