No output from goroutine

Question

While SayHello() executes as expected, the goroutine prints nothing.

package main

import \"fmt\"

func SayHello() {
    for i := 0; i < 10          


        

Answer 1

Alternatively (to icza's answer) you can use WaitGroup from sync package and anonymous function to avoid altering original SayHello.

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "sync"
)

func SayHello() {
    for i := 0; i < 10; i++ {
        fmt.Print(i, " ")
    }
}

func main() {
    SayHello()

    var wg sync.WaitGroup
    wg.Add(1)

    go func() {
        defer wg.Done()
        SayHello()
    }()

    wg.Wait()
}

In order to print numbers simultaneously run each print statement in separate routine like the following

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "math/rand"
    "sync"
    "time"
)

func main() {
    var wg sync.WaitGroup

    for i := 0; i < 10; i++ {
        wg.Add(1)
        go func(fnScopeI int) {
            defer wg.Done()

            // next two strings are here just to show routines work simultaneously
            amt := time.Duration(rand.Intn(250))
            time.Sleep(time.Millisecond * amt)

            fmt.Print(fnScopeI, " ")
        }(i)
    }

    wg.Wait()
}
