Overview
range keyword is used to iterate over strings, arrays, slices, maps, channels and variadic function arguments. It returns two values. On the first position is the index/key, and on the second position is the copy of the value in that element. For slices and arrays, range always starts to iterate from index 0. If you need more control over the start index, use a for loop.
- Note 1: that only a first identifier is declared, that is the index and not the value, as the intuition would suggest. See examples below.
- Note 2: range returns a copy of the value, in the same way it would pass an argument to a function. It does NOT return a reference to the element in the structure it iterates over.
Iterating over Key/Values in a Map
m := map[string]string { "k1": "v1", "k2": "v2", "k3": "v3", } for key, value := range m { // }
