Shorthand declaration of an Array in Golang

Problem Solution:

In this program, we will use the shorthand declaration method to create and initialize an array. After that, we will print array elements on the console screen.

Program/Source Code:

The source code to demonstrate the shorthand declaration of an Array is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

Golang code to demonstrate the example of shorthand declaration of an Array

// Golang program to demonstrate the 
// shorthand declaration of Array.

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
	arr := [5]int{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

	fmt.Println("Array elements:")
	for i := 0; i <= 4; i++ {
		fmt.Printf("%d ", arr[i])
	}
}

Output:

Array elements:
1 2 3 4 5

Explanation:

In the above program, we declare the package main. The main package is used to tell the Go language compiler that the package must be compiled and produced the executable file. Here, we imported the fmt package that includes the files of package fmt then we can use a function related to the fmt package.

In the main() function, we created and initialized an integer array arr of 5 elements using the shorthand declaration method. After that, we printed the array elements using the for loop on the console screen.
