What is “_,” (underscore comma) in a Go declaration?

Question

And I can\'t seem to understand this kind of variable declaration:

_, prs := m[\"example\"]

What exactly is \"_,\" doing and w

Answer 1

An unused variable is not allowed in Golang

If you were coming from other programming languages this might feel bit difficult to get used to this. But this results in more cleaner code. So by using a _ we are saying we know there is a variable there but we don't want to use it and telling the compiler that does not complain me about it. :)
