To assign multiple return value function to new and old variables in Go, you can use the short variable declaration syntax (:=) for new variables and regular assignment (=) for existing ones. The := operator is used to simultaneously declare and assign a variable.
Example
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
a, b := 1, 2
// Call a function that returns multiple values and assign
// the result to a new variable (c) and an existing variable (b)
b, c := sumAndDifference(a, b)
fmt.Println("Sum:", b)
fmt.Println("Difference:", c)
}
func sumAndDifference(a, b int) (int, int) {
sum := a + b
difference := a - b
return sum, difference
}
Output
Sum: 3
Difference: -1
In this code example, we have a function sumAndDifference() that returns two values, the sum and the difference of its input parameters.
We then assign the sum to the existing variable b and the difference to a new variable c.
You must declare at least one new variable using the short variable declaration syntax (:=); otherwise, you’ll get a compilation error.
That’s it.
