The following tutorial column will introduce you to functions as values and types in Golang. I hope it will be helpful to friends in need!

Introduction

In the Go language, we can use the function as a variable and use type to define it, then this Function types can be passed as values and can even implement methods. This feature is so flexible that sometimes we can even use this feature for type conversion. The conditions for passing as value are that the types have the same parameters and the same return value.

Type conversion of functions

The basic format of type conversion in Go language is as follows:

type_name(expression)

For example:

package main import "fmt" type CalculateType func(int, int) // 声明了一个函数类型 // 该函数类型实现了一个方法 func (c *CalculateType) Serve() { fmt.Println("我是一个函数类型") } // 加法函数 func add(a, b int) { fmt.Println(a + b) } // 乘法函数 func mul(a, b int) { fmt.Println(a * b) } func main() { a := CalculateType(add) // 将add函数强制转换成CalculateType类型 b := CalculateType(mul) // 将mul函数强制转换成CalculateType类型 a(2, 3) b(2, 3) a.Serve() b.Serve() } // 5 // 6 // 我是一个函数类型 // 我是一个函数类型

As above , declares a CalculateType function type, implements the Serve() method, and casts add and mul with the same parameters into the CalculateType function type. At the same time, both functions have the Serve() method of the CalculateType function type.

Function parameter transfer

package main import "fmt" type CalculateType func(a, b int) int // 声明了一个函数类型 // 加法函数 func add(a, b int) int { return a + b } // 乘法函数 func mul(a, b int) int { return a * b } func Calculate(a, b int, f CalculateType) int { return f(a, b) } func main() { a, b := 2, 3 fmt.Println(Calculate(a, b, add)) fmt.Println(Calculate(a, b, mul)) } // 5 // 6

As shown in the above example, the f parameter type of Calculate is CalculateType, and the add and mul functions have the same parameters and return values as the CalculateType function type. Therefore, the add and mul functions can be passed as parameters into the Calculate function.

net/http package source code example

// HandleFunc registers the handler function for the given pattern // in the DefaultServeMux. // The documentation for ServeMux explains how patterns are matched. func HandleFunc(pattern string, handler func(ResponseWriter, *Request)) { DefaultServeMux.HandleFunc(pattern, handler) }

// HandleFunc registers the handler function for the given pattern. func (mux *ServeMux) HandleFunc(pattern string, handler func(ResponseWriter, *Request)) { mux.Handle(pattern, HandlerFunc(handler)) }

type HandlerFunc func(ResponseWriter, *Request) // ServeHTTP calls f(w, r). func (f HandlerFunc) ServeHTTP(w ResponseWriter, r *Request) { f(w, r) }

When I first saw this source code, I was really a little confused. The purpose of this source code is to Our Handler is forced to implement the ServeHTTP() method, as in the following example:

func sayHi(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) { io.WriteString(w, "hi") } func main() { http.HandlerFunc("/", sayHi) http.ListenAndserve(":8080", nil) }

Because HandlerFunc is a function type, and the sayHi function has the same parameter value as the HandlerFunc function type, so sayHi can be forced to be converted to HandlerFunc, so sayHi also has the ServeHTTP() method, which implements the Handler interface. At the same time, the ServeHTTP method of HandlerFunc executes itself, which is the sayHi function. This can be seen. sayHi is the execution result after the Handler is called. .
