Go by Example: Range over Built-in Types


range iterates over elements in a variety of built-in
data structures. Let’s see how to use range with
some of the data structures we’ve already learned.

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {

Here we use range to sum the numbers in a slice. nums := []int{2, 3, 4}


Arrays work like this too. sum := 0
for _, num := range nums {
sum += num
}
fmt.Println("sum:", sum)

range on arrays and slices provides both the index for i, num := range nums {
and value for each entry. Above we didn’t need the if num == 3 {
index, so we ignored it with the blank identifier _. fmt.Println("index:", i)
}
Sometimes we actually want the indexes though.
}

range on map iterates over key/value pairs. kvs := map[string]string{"a": "apple", "b": "banana"}
for k, v := range kvs {
fmt.Printf("%s -> %s\n", k, v)
}

range can also iterate over just the keys of a map. for k := range kvs {
fmt.Println("key:", k)
}

range on strings iterates over Unicode code points. for i, c := range "go" {
The first value is the starting byte index of the fmt.Println(i, c)
rune and the second the rune itself. See Strings }
}
and Runes for more details.

$ go run range-over-built-in-types.go
sum: 9
index: 1
a -> apple
b -> banana
key: a
key: b
0 103
1 111
