Goroutines are functions or methods that run concurrently with other functions or methods. Goroutines can be thought of as light weight threads. The cost of creating a Goroutine is tiny when compared to a thread.
|
||||
|
||||
Prefix the function or method call with the keyword `go` and you will have a new Goroutine running concurrently.
|
||||
|
||||
Let's look at an example:
|
||||
|
||||
func say(s string) {
|
||||
fmt.Println(s)
|
||||
time.Sleep(100 * time.Millisecond)
|
||||
fmt.Println(s)
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
func main() {
|
||||
go say("hello")
|
||||
say("world")
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
Output:
|
||||
|
||||
world
|
||||
hello
|
||||
hello
|
||||
world
|
||||
|
||||
You can observe that since we called `say("hello")` in a goroutine, it'll run concurrently and will print the output in no particular order in regards to the regualar function call `say("world")`.
