Algorithm

In Go (also known as Golang), a for loop is the primary mechanism for iterating over elements. There are different ways to use for loops in Go, and I'll cover a few of them here.

Code Examples

#1 Basic for loop:

Code - Golang Programming

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    // Basic for loop
    for i := 0; i  <  5; i++ {
        fmt.Println(i)
    }
}
This example prints numbers from 0 to 4. The syntax is for initialization; condition; post { }. Copy The Code & Try With Live Editor

#2 Infinite loop:

Code - Golang Programming

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    // Infinite loop
    for {
        fmt.Println("This is an infinite loop")
        // To break out of the loop, use break
        break
    }
}

#3 for loop with a range:

Code - Golang Programming

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    // Looping over a slice using range
    numbers := []int{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
    for index, value := range numbers {
        fmt.Printf("Index: %d, Value: %d\n", index, value)
    }
}

#4 for loop with a single condition:

Code - Golang Programming

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    // Loop with a single condition
    i := 0
    for i < 5 {
        fmt.Println(i)
        i++
    }
}
