The differences between Go functions and some other languages
1. Different function formats
func GetMsg(i int) (r string) { fmt.Println(i) r = "hi" return r }
func indicates that this is Function
GetMsg is the function name
(i int) The function receives an int parameter
(r string) The function returns a string type return value
2. Functions can return multiple return values
This is different from c and php, but the same as lua
func GetMsg(i int) (r string, err string) { fmt.Println(i) r = "hi" err = "no err" return r,err }
3. Use of defer
defer means "called when the function exits", especially when reading and writing files, you need to call the close operation after open, and use defer
for the close operation. Whatfunc ReadFile(filePath string)(){ file.Open(filePath) defer file.Close() if true { file.Read() } else { return false } }
means is not to call close immediately after file.Open, but to call file.Close() when return false. This effectively avoids the memory leak problem in C language.
4. The more difficult to understand: panic, recover and defer
defer: Recommended: go defer (go delay function) introduction
Panic and Recover we regard them as throw and catch in other languages
The following example:
ackage main import "fmt" func main() { f() fmt.Println("Returned normally from f.") } func f() { defer func() { if r := recover(); r != nil { fmt.Println("Recovered in f", r) } }() fmt.Println("Calling g.") g(0) fmt.Println("Returned normally from g.") } func g(i int) { if i > 3 { fmt.Println("Panicking!") panic(fmt.Sprintf("%v", i)) } defer fmt.Println("Defer in g", i) fmt.Println("Printing in g", i) g(i + 1) }
Returned:
Calling g. Printing in g 0 Printing in g 1 Printing in g 2 Printing in g 3 Panicking! Defer in g 3 Defer in g 2 Defer in g 1 Defer in g 0 Recovered in f 4 Returned normally from f.
Panic throw Information is output and the function exits. Recover receives the information and continues processing.
