如何声明由Go中返回多个值的函数调用实例化的多个变量？

Question

Let's say I have a function:

func foo() (bool, string) { ... }

And then I wish to declare two variables b and s, initialized with values returned by the function call foo(). I'm aware I can do this using the "shorthand" syntax which omits type annotations:

b, s := foo();

However, I do not wish to use this shorthand syntax. I wish to use the var syntax with a variable name and expected type. I have tried this:

var b bool, s string = foo();

However, this gives me a syntax error. What is the correct way to do this?

Answer 1

In most cases, the correct way to do this is to use the shorthand syntax. That's what it's for.

If you don't want to use the shorthand syntax, then you can use var syntax:

var b bool
var s string
b, s = foo()

or

var (
    b bool
    s string
)
b, s = foo()

There is no "shorthand var" syntax.
