golang maps code example

Example 1: length of map golang

package main
 
import "fmt"
 
func main() {
    var employee = make(map[string]int)
    employee["Mark"] = 10
    employee["Sandy"] = 20
 
    // Empty Map
    employeeList := make(map[string]int)
 
    fmt.Println(len(employee))     // 2
    fmt.Println(len(employeeList)) // 0
}

Example 2: initialize map in golang

// By default maps in Go behaves like a default dictionary in python
m := make(map[string]int)

m["Dio"] = 3
m["Jonathan"] = 1

Example 3: go add to map

m := make(map[string]int)
m["numberOne"] = 1
m["numberTwo"] = 2

Example 4: golang map

package main

import (
	"fmt"
)

type User struct {
	Name string
	Age  int
}

func main() {

	var person = map[string]string{
		"name": "john doe",
		"age":  "23",
	}

	var profile = make(map[string]string)
	profile["name"] = "jane doe"
	profile["age"] = "23"

	var user = make(map[string]interface{})

	user["name"] = "peter parker"
	user["age"] = 30

	var users = []map[string]interface{}{
		{"name": "monkey d lufy", "age": 19},
		{"name": "trafagar d law", "age": 23},
		{"name": "nico robin", "age": 20},
	}

	var userStruct = map[string]User{
		"name": {Name: "Monkey D Lufy"},
		"age":  {Age: 19},
	}

	fmt.Println(person)
	fmt.Println(profile)
	fmt.Println(user)
	fmt.Println(users)
	fmt.Println(userStruct)
}
