Get Input From The Console

• To get input, you require a package called bufio.
• Need another package called os.
• Comments with how to get input from the console: ``` package main

import ( “bufio” “fmt” “os” )

func main() { // Stdin is standard input (what the user types on the command line) reader := bufio.NewReader(os.Stdin) // Displaying a prompt to the user. We are not using Println, as we do not want a line feed at the end of the string fmt.Print(“Enter text: “) // We need the application to pause and let the user type something in. We need two variables, the first being a string and what the user types. This is called “input”, the second variable is an error object. // If you want to ignore a variable, we need to use the underscore character. // Both variables are initialised with reader.ReadString. The ReadString function requires a single byte (one character). This is called a delimeter. Tells the ReadString fuction when to start accepting input. // Characters are wrapped in single quotes, whilst fulll srings are wrapped in double quotes input, _ := reader.ReadString(‘\n’) fmt.Println(“You entered:”, input) } ```
