Syntax
C Java Go
Slice There is no growable
data structure
java.util.Collection
package provides
dynamic growable
array. E.g List,Set,Map
etc
Growable data
structure
Declaration
var numbers []int
Creation
numbers=make([
]int,5,5)
5 len, 5 is capacity
append(),copy()
Default value - nil
Map There is no map data
structure in C
Key, Value pair
Map m=new
HashMap()
Map[key] value
Default value is nil
Syntax
C Java Go
Map - m.put(“Zero”,1)
put( )
get( )
ForEach to iterate
over collection and
array
var dictionary=map
[string] int
dictionary[“Zero”]=1
Create using make
var dict=make(map
[string] int)
Range -> to iterate over
slice,map
for key,val:=range values
{
……...
}
Syntax
C Java Go
Struct / Class Collection of fields and
methods
struct book{
int id;
char name[50];
char author[50];
}book;
//Access members
struct book book1;
strcpy(book1.id,400)
Java does not have
struct but have
class
class Books{
int id;
String name;
String author;
void display(){
…………...
}
}
Books b=new
Book();
b.name=”Vision”
Go have struct to
hold data in
variables.
type struct Book{
id int;
name string;
}
func(book3 *Book)
display() {
…………..
}
book1:=new(Book)
var book2 Book;
book2.name=”Go”
Syntax
C Java Go
Embedding It is like inheritance
in Java
class A {
….
}
Class B extends A
{
...
}
type Person struct{
Name string
}
func (per *Person)
speak(){
……..
}
type Mobile struct{
Person
Model String
}
Mob:=new(Mobile)
mob.Person.speak(
)
Syntax
C Java Go
Pointer Direct address of
memory location
int *a
a=&b;
NULL pointer
Always assign null
value to pointer
variable when you
don’t know exact
address to assign
int *a=NULL;
Java does not
support pointer
var a *int
var fp *float32
a=&p
NIL pointer
var *p int=nil
Syntax
C Java Go
Interface C does not have
interface concept
-Collection of only abstract
methods (from java 8 it
supports static methods
also)
-Classes implements
interface
public interface Animal{
public void eat();
public void sleep();
}
public class Monkey extends
Animal{
………..
}
-Provides method
signatures
type Shape
interface {
area() float64
}
type square struct{
side float64
}
func(sq Square)area( )
float64 {
return sq.side*sq.side
}
Same method signature
is implemented
Syntax
C Java Go
Go has empty interface which is like
object class in java. An empty
interface can hold any type of
value.
fmt.Println(a ...interface{ })
Type Casting Convert variable from
one to another data type
(type) expression
int sum=5,count=2;
Double d=(double)
sum/count
Widening
byte->short->int->float->
long->double
float=10
Narrowing
double->float->long->int-
>short->byte
int a=(float)10.40
var i int=10
var f float64=6.44
fmt.Println(float64(i))
fmt.Println(int(f))
Syntax
C Java Go
Error Handling -No direct support for error
handling
But it returns error no.
perror() and strerror() used to
display text message associated
with error no
int dividend=20;
int divisor=0;
int quotient;
if(divisor==0){
fprintf(stderr,”Divide by zero”);
exit(-1);
}
Exception Handling
-Exception is problem
arises during program
execution.
Checked/Unchecked Ex.
try{
……
}
catch(Exception ex){
……..
}
finally{
……..
}
No try/catch mechanism.
Instead it is having
defer,panic,recover
concepts.
-Provides error interface
type error interface{
Error() string
}
Normally function
returns error as last
return value. Use
errors.New() for
specifying error msg.
Syntax
C Java Go
Concurrency /
Multithreading
Doesn’t have
support.
Java have multithreading
concept for simultaneous
execution of different
tasks at same time.
We need to extends
Thread class or Runnable
interface and then
implement run( ) and write
your code
start(),run(),join(),sleep(),...
Here, we use
goroutines for
concurrent
execution.
To make function
as goroutine just
append go in front
of your function.
Two goroutines are
communicating
using channel
concept
