create an if statement in go

In Go, the syntax for an if statement is as follows:

main.go
if condition {
    // code to be executed if the condition is true
}
69 chars
4 lines

The condition can be any expression that evaluates to a boolean value (true or false). If the condition is true, then the code block inside the curly braces {} is executed. If the condition is false, then the code block is skipped.

Optionally, you can include an else block after the code block inside the curly braces {} to specify what to do if the condition is false. For example:

main.go
if condition {
    // code to be executed if the condition is true
} else {
    // code to be executed if the condition is false
}

6 lines

You can also chain multiple if statements together using else if. For example:

main.go
if condition1 {
    // code to be executed if condition1 is true
} else if condition2 {
    // code to be executed if condition2 is true
} else {
    // code to be executed if all conditions are false
}

Here is an example of an if statement in Go:

main.go
package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    x := 5
    if x > 0 {
        fmt.Println("x is positive")
    } else {
        fmt.Println("x is not positive")
    }
}
