I'm new to Golang and I'm trying out a few examples as part of my learning. I have 2 Go source files - hello.go and consts.go in my example. consts.go contains some constants which are used by the functions defined in hello.go. When I build both the source files like so:
go build consts.go hello.go and run the output ./hello
the function arrayDemo() is not called at all.
However, when I just run the file hello.go using go run hello.go, the function arrayDemo() is called.
What is the difference in both the approaches that's causing the function not to be called when building?
Here's the code for hello.go:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"os"
"strconv"
"strings"
)
func main() {
fmt.Printf("Speed is %f
", computeSpeed(54.3, 3.4))
fmt.Printf("%d
", arrayDemo())
}
func arrayDemo() int32 {
fmt.Println("in arrayDemo")
return 5
}
Code for consts.go:
package main
// Speed speed of a vehicle
type Speed float32
func computeSpeed(dist float32, t float32) Speed {
return Speed(dist / t)
}
