Block of statement executed only when specified test expression is true.
if else Statements
When we want to execute some block of code if a condition is true and another block of code if a condition is false, In such a case we use if….else statement.
nested If Statements
When there is an if statement inside another if statement then it is known as nested if else.
switch Statement
A switch statement evaluates an expression against multiple cases in order to identify the block of code to be executed.
Above statements are standard as in many other languages, such as C and Java.
If with short statement
In Go, the conditional expression can be preceded by a simple statement, which is executes before the conditional expression is evaluated, and if it is a declaration statement then the variable declared in the statement will only be available inside the if block and it’s else or else-if sections.
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
if x := 3; x%2 == 0 {
fmt.Printf("%d is even\n", x)
} else {
fmt.Printf("%d is odd\n", x)
}
}
3 is odd
Switch Statement (single cases)
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
var dayOfWeek = 5
switch dayOfWeek {
case 1:
fmt.Println("Today is Monday.")
case 2:
fmt.Println("Today is Tuesday.")
case 3:
fmt.Println("Today is Wednesday.")
case 4:
fmt.Println("Today is Thursday.")
case 5:
fmt.Println("Today is Friday.")
case 6:
fmt.Println("Today is Saturday.")
case 7:
fmt.Println("Today is Sunday.")
default:
fmt.Println("Invalid weekday!")
}
}
Today is Friday.
Switch Statement (multiple cases)
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
var dayOfWeek = 3
switch dayOfWeek {
case 1, 2, 3, 4, 5:
fmt.Println("It's a weekday.")
case 6, 7:
fmt.Println("It's the weekend!")
default:
fmt.Println("Invalid day!")
}
}
It's a weekday.
Switch Statement - fallthrough
All the following cases are executed after a match is found in the switch statement cases.
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
var x = 2
switch x {
case 1:
fmt.Println("1")
fallthrough
case 2:
fmt.Println("2")
fallthrough
case 3:
fmt.Println("3")
}
}
2
3
Switch Statement - Short Statement
Similar to short statement for if statement.
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
switch dayOfWeek := 5; dayOfWeek {
case 1, 2, 3, 4, 5:
fmt.Println("It's a weekday.")
case 6, 7:
fmt.Println("It's the weekend!")
default:
fmt.Println("Invalid day!")
}
}
It's a weekday.
Switch Statement - No Expression
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
var marks = 40
switch { // same as `switch true`
case marks > 60:
fmt.Println("You got A!")
case marks < 60 && marks >= 50:
fmt.Println("You got B.")
case marks < 50 && marks >= 35:
fmt.Println("You got C :(")
default:
fmt.Println("Failed!")
}
}
