What is a channel in Go
· 阅读需 3 分钟
In Go, a channel is a powerful tool used to facilitate communication and synchronization between goroutines. Channels allow you to pass data between goroutines safely, without the need for explicit locking or other complex synchronization mechanisms.
How Channels Work？
Channels in Go provide a typed conduit through which goroutines can send and receive data.
You can think of a channel as a pipe: one goroutine sends data into the channel, and another goroutine receives the data from the other end.
Channels are typed, meaning that a channel can only transfer data of a specific type. For example, a channel of chan int can only pass integers.
