Presentation of arrays

In almost all languages there is this notion of an array for data storage. The GO language does not cut into it either.

Simply put, an array is a finite sequence of elements of the same type.

Allocation syntax

1 dimension

var <NOM VARIABLE>[<TAILLE>]<TYPE>

n dimensions

var <NOM VARIABLE>[<TAILLE1>][<TAILLE2>]...[<TAILLEn>]<TYPE>

Reminder: In terms of the visibility of a function, in this sense it is public or private. This is done by either putting the first letter in lowercase for a private function and a capital letter for a public service.

Note: The size of the array must be an integer greater than or equal to zero (even if zero will represent an array with no element).

Note: be careful of the number of dimensions because you can exceed the memory space but the compiler will let you know, as well as the IDE (for visual code for example)

Assignment syntax

<NOM VARIABLE>[<INDEX>] = <VALEUR>

Principle

It should be noted that when allocating:

• The allocation of elements is contiguous;
• Content is always initialized
• That the starting index is 0;
• The table is immutable and therefore to enlarge the table you must create another one.

Example

Allocation of an array of 4 strings.

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {

    var tableau [4]int

    fmt.Printf("tableau %v", tableau)

    // Résulat : tableau [0 0 0 0]

}

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {

    var tableau [4]int

    tableau[0] = 99
    tableau[3] = 100

    fmt.Printf("tableau %v", tableau)

    // Résulat : tableau [99 0 0 100]
}

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {

    var tableau [4]int

    tableau[0] = 99
    tableau[3] = 100

    fmt.Printf("tableau %v de longueur = %d", tableau, len(tableau))

    // Résulat : tableau [99 0 0 100] de longueur = 4
}

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {

    var vectors [3]struct{ x, y int }

    vectors[1].x = 100
    vectors[1].y = 150

    fmt.Printf("tableau: %v de longueur: %d, de type: %T", vectors, len(vectors), vectors)

    // Résulat : tableau: [{0 0} {100 150} {0 0}] de longueur: 3, de type: [3]struct { x int; y int }
}

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {

    var mat_vect [3][3]struct{ x, y int }

    mat_vect[1][1].x = 100
    mat_vect[1][1].y = 150

    fmt.Printf("tableau: %v de longueur: %d, de type: %T", mat_vect, len(mat_vect), mat_vect)

    // Résulat : tableau: [[{0 0} {0 0} {0 0}] [{0 0} {100 150} {0 0}] [{0 0} {0 0} {0 0}]] 
    // de longueur: 3, de type: [3][3]struct { x int; y int }
}

In Brief

And now you know:

• Declare any type of arrays;
• Assign values.
