This Go code defines and demonstrates the creation and usage of a map with keys of type string
and values of a custom Vertex
struct. Here's what the code does, step by step:
-
Package and imports:
- The program starts with the
package main
declaration, indicating it is an executable program. - The program imports the
fmt
package to allow formatted I/O operations, such as printing.
- The program starts with the
-
Define the
Vertex
struct:- A struct named
Vertex
is defined, which has two fields:Lat
(latitude) andLong
(longitude), both of typefloat64
.
- A struct named
-
Declare a map variable
m
:- A global variable
m
of typemap[string]Vertex
is declared. This map will usestring
keys andVertex
struct values.
- A global variable
-
Function
main
:- The
main
function is the entry point of the Go program. - Inside
main
, the mapm
is initialized withmake(map[string]Vertex)
, creating an empty map. - A key-value pair is added to the map: the key is
"Bell Labs"
, and the value is aVertex
struct withLat = 40.68433
andLong = -74.39967
. - The value associated with the key
"Bell Labs"
in the map is retrieved and printed usingfmt.Println
.
- The
-
Output:
- The program outputs the value of
m["Bell Labs"]
, which is theVertex
struct added earlier. The output will be:
{40.68433 -74.39967}
- The program outputs the value of
Summary: This code defines a map that associates string keys with coordinates (latitude and longitude), stores a Vertex
for the key "Bell Labs"
, and prints it.
