use of variable in for loop not recognized in Golang

问题

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 := GiveRandomData(i)

    // Save to database
    response, err := SaveToDatabase(data)

    if err != nil { log.Fatal(err) }
    fmt.Println(response)
}

However, when compiling this program, I get the following error:

.\main.go:26: i declared and not used

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.

What should I do to get rid of this compilation error or to let golang understand that this variable is NOT unused but used in the next iteration of this endless for loop?

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
