How to declare a constant map in Golang?

Question

I am trying to declare to constant in Go, but it is throwing an error. Could anyone please help me with the syntax of declaring a constant in Go?

This is my code:

Answer 1

And as suggested above by Siu Ching Pong -Asuka Kenji with the function which in my opinion makes more sense and leaves you with the convenience of the map type without the function wrapper around:

   // romanNumeralDict returns map[int]string dictionary, since the return
       // value is always the same it gives the pseudo-constant output, which
       // can be referred to in the same map-alike fashion.
       var romanNumeralDict = func() map[int]string { return map[int]string {
            1000: "M",
            900:  "CM",
            500:  "D",
            400:  "CD",
            100:  "C",
            90:   "XC",
            50:   "L",
            40:   "XL",
            10:   "X",
            9:    "IX",
            5:    "V",
            4:    "IV",
            1:    "I",
          }
        }

        func printRoman(key int) {
          fmt.Println(romanNumeralDict()[key])
        }

        func printKeyN(key, n int) {
          fmt.Println(strings.Repeat(romanNumeralDict()[key], n))
        }

        func main() {
          printRoman(1000)
          printRoman(50)
          printKeyN(10, 3)
        }
