Conditional Logic with If-Else

The if statement evaluates a boolean condition. Parentheses are not used around the condition, but curly braces for the block are mandatory.

snippet.go
go
package main
 
import "fmt"
 
func main() {
    temp := 25
    if temp > 30 {
        fmt.Println("It is hot")
    } else if temp > 20 {
        fmt.Println("It is nice")
    } else {
        fmt.Println("It is cold")
    }
}

Breakdown

if temp > 30 {

Starts the condition check; no parentheses are required in Go.

else if temp > 20 {

Checks an alternative condition if the first one was false.

} else {

Executes this block if none of the above conditions were met.
