Maps in Go
New Course Coming Soon:
Get Really Good at Git
A map is a very useful data type in Go.
In other language it’s also called dictionary or hash map or associative array.
Here’s how you create a map:
agesMap := make(map[string]int)
You don’t need to set how many items the map will hold.
You can add a new item to the map in this way:
agesMap["flavio"] = 39
You can also initialize the map with values directly using this syntax:
agesMap := map[string]int{"flavio": 39}
You can get the value associated with a key using:
age := agesMap["flavio"]
You can delete an item from the map using the delete()
function in this way:
delete(agesMap, "flavio")
Are you intimidated by Git? Can’t figure out merge vs
rebase? Are you afraid of screwing up something any time
you have to do something in Git? Do you rely on ChatGPT
or random people’s answer on StackOverflow to fix your
problems? Your coworkers are tired of explaining Git to
you all the time? Git is something we all need to use,
but few of us really master it. I created this course to
improve your Git (and GitHub) knowledge at a radical
level. A course that helps you feel less frustrated with
Git. Launching Summer 2024. Join the waiting list!
