range over interface{} which stores a slice

Question

Given the scenario where you have a function which accepts t interface{}. If it is determined that the t is a slice, how do I range ov

Answer 1

You don't need to use reflection if you know which types to expect. You can use a type switch, like this:

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    loop([]string{"one", "two", "three"})
    loop([]int{1, 2, 3})
}

func loop(t interface{}) {
    switch t := t.(type) {
    case []string:
        for _, value := range t {
            fmt.Println(value)
        }
    case []int:
        for _, value := range t {
            fmt.Println(value)
        }
    }
}
