To write an if conditional statement in Golang/Go, you have to write the keyword if followed by the condition you want to check and then the opening and closing curly brackets symbol ({}). Inside the curly brackets, you can write the code to run for that specific condition.
For example, let's write an if conditional statement where it checks if the number 3 is less than the number 5.
It can be done like this,
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
// this is the if conditional statement
if 3 < 5 {
fmt.Printf("I'm inside the if block!")
}
}
As you can see from the above code, we have written the if keyword followed by the condition which is 3 < 5 and then the opening and closing curly brackets symbol ({}).
Inside the if block we are just printing the text I'm inside the if block!.
We have successfully made an if conditional statement in Golang. Yay 🥳!
See the above code live in The Go Playground.
That's all 😃!
