Go if Statement

The if Statement in Go

• The if statement is used to run a block of code only when a specified condition is true.

Syntax:

if condition {

  // code to execute if condition is true

}

Note: The keyword if must be written in lowercase. Writing it as If or IF will cause a syntax error.

Example:

• In this example, we check whether 20 is greater than 18. Since the condition is true, the message is printed:

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {

  if 20 > 18 {

    fmt.Println("20 is greater than 18")

  }

}

Output:

20 is greater than 18

Example2:

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {

    num1 := 20

    num2 := 18

    if num1 > num2 {

        fmt.Println("num1 is greater than num2")

    }

}
