Yes, you can, although it's unnecessary in this case.
The syntax
function fixes the syntax and other errors in your code so that your code runs and produces output. The idiom
function rewrites your code in a more idiomatic form.
package main
import (
"fmt"
)
func syntax() {
x := []int{
48, 96, 86, 68,
57, 82, 63, 70,
37, 34, 83, 27,
19, 97, 9, 17,
}
for a, b := 0, 1; a < len(x) && b < len(x); a, b = a+1, b+1 {
if x[a] > x[b] {
x = append(x[:1], x[1+1:]...)
fmt.Println("x[1+1:]x)", x)
} else {
x = append(x[:0], x[0+1:]...)
fmt.Println("x[0+1:]x)", x)
}
}
}
func idiom() {
x := []int{
48, 96, 86, 68,
57, 82, 63, 70,
37, 34, 83, 27,
19, 97, 9, 17,
}
for i := 1; i < len(x); i++ {
if x[i-1] > x[i] {
x = append(x[:1], x[1+1:]...)
fmt.Println("x[1+1:]x)", x)
} else {
x = append(x[:0], x[0+1:]...)
fmt.Println("x[0+1:]x)", x)
}
}
}
func main() {
syntax()
fmt.Println()
idiom()
}
