go add to map

  1. Import the "fmt" package:

This step is necessary to access the standard input/output functions of the Go language. The "fmt" package provides functions like "Println" and "Scanln" for printing and reading input from the user.

  1. Declare the main function:

The main function is the entry point of any Go program. It is where the execution of the program starts.

  1. Declare a variable to store the map:

In Go, variables are declared using the "var" keyword followed by the variable name and its data type. In this case, we need to declare a variable to store the map.

  1. Initialize the map:

Maps in Go are declared using the "make" function. This function takes the type of the map as the first argument, followed by the initial capacity of the map (optional).

  1. Add elements to the map:

To add elements to a map, we use the following syntax: mapName[key] = value. Replace "mapName" with the name of your map, "key" with the key you want to add, and "value" with the value associated with that key.

  1. Print the map:

To print the contents of a map, use the "Println" function from the "fmt" package. Pass the map variable as an argument to this function.

  1. Run the program:

To run a Go program, open a terminal or command prompt, navigate to the directory where your program is located, and type "go run filename.go" (replace "filename.go" with the actual name of your Go file).

  1. Observe the output:

After running the program, you should see the map printed on the console, displaying the added elements.

Remember to import the "fmt" package, declare the main function, declare and initialize the map, add elements to the map, print the map, run the program, and observe the output.
