use of variable in for loop not recognized in Golang

Question

I\'m developing in golang and I run the following for loop:

// Define Initial Value
i := 0

for {   
    // Get Random data based on iteration
    data, i := Giv         


        

Answer 1

The Golang compiler doesn't seem to recognise that the i variable is given back to the function in the next loop. Inside this function, the I variable changes value.

No, i does not change value; := declares a new i. (Go allows you to do this because data is also new.) To assign to it instead, you’ll need to declare data separately:

var data RandomDataType
data, i = GiveRandomData(i)

Or give the new i a temporary name:

data, next := GiveRandomData(i)
i = next
