// ### Functions
// a simple function
func functionName() {}
// function with parameters (again, types go after identifiers)
func functionName(param1 string, param2 int) {}
// multiple parameters of the same type
func functionName(param1, param2 int) {}
// return type declaration
func functionName() int {
return 42
}
// Can return multiple values at once
func returnMulti() (int, string) {
return 42, "foobar"
}
var x, str = returnMulti()
// Return multiple named results simply by return
func returnMulti2() (n int, s string) {
n = 42
s = "foobar"
// n and s will be returned
return
}
var x, str = returnMulti2()
// ### Functions As Values And Closures
func main() {
// assign a function to a name
add := func(a, b int) int {
return a + b
}
// use the name to call the function
fmt.Println(add(3, 4))
}
// Closures, lexically scoped: Functions can access values that were
// in scope when defining the function
func scope() func() int{
outer_var := 2
foo := func() int { return outer_var}
return foo
}
func another_scope() func() int{
// won't compile because outer_var and foo not defined in this scope
outer_var = 444
return foo
}
// Closures: don't mutate outer vars, instead redefine them!
func outer() (func() int, int) {
outer_var := 2
inner := func() int {
outer_var += 99 // attempt to mutate outer_var from outer scope
return outer_var // => 101 (but outer_var is a newly redefined
// variable visible only inside inner)
}
return inner, outer_var // => 101, 2 (outer_var is still 2, not mutated by foo!)
}
// ### Variadic Functions
func main() {
fmt.Println(adder(1, 2, 3)) // 6
fmt.Println(adder(9, 9)) // 18
nums := []int{10, 20, 30}
fmt.Println(adder(nums...)) // 60
}
// By using ... before the type name of the last parameter you can indicate that it takes zero or more of those parameters.
// The function is invoked like any other function except we can pass as many arguments as we want.
func adder(args ...int) int {
total := 0
for _, v := range args { // Iterates over the arguments whatever the number.
total += v
}
return total
}
