Go Associative Array

Jotting down my test to implement an associative array similar to as my python test here: https://blog.ls-al.com/python-dict-for-arrays/

In python I used dict and in go I used map.

1
$ pwd
2
/home/rrosso/src/examples

4
$ cat maps.go
5
package main
6
import "fmt"
7
type rec struct {
8
  lname, fname string
9
}
10

11
var m map[string]rec
12

13
func main() {
14
  m = make(map[string]rec)
15
  m["1"] = rec{"Sable", "Sam",}
16
  m["2"] = rec{"Sable", "Samantha",}
17
  m["3"] = rec{"Sable", "Stevie",}
18

19
  fmt.Println(m)
20
  fmt.Println(m["2"])
21
  fmt.Println(m["3"].fname)
22
  fmt.Println()
23

24
        //simpler example no struct
25
  n := map[string]int{"foo": 1, "bar": 2}
26
      fmt.Println("map:", n)
27
  fmt.Println("val:", n["bar"])
28
}

Output

1
$ go run maps.go
2
map[1:{Sable Sam} 2:{Sable Samantha} 3:{Sable Stevie}]
3
{Sable Samantha}
4
Stevie
5

6
map: map[foo:1 bar:2]
7
val: 2
