How to compare two structs in Golang 1.20
1In this video we are going to generate source code for the GoLang Program, How to compare two structs using chatGPT.
After generating we will verify and run the generated code.
IMPORTANT NOTE on SOURCE CODE: only source code that are acceptable by the youtube description box will be displayed.
##############SOURCE CODE#########################
package main
import "fmt"
type Person struct {
name string
age int
}
func main() {
// create two instances of Person struct
person1 := Person{name: "John", age: 30}
person2 := Person{name: "Jane", age: 25}
// compare the two instances of Person struct
if person1 == person2 {
fmt.Println("The two persons are equal")
} else {
fmt.Println("The two persons are not equal")
}
// create a third instance of Person struct with same values as person1
person3 := Person{name: "John", age: 30}
// compare person1 and person3
if person1 == person3 {
fmt.Println("person1 and person3 are equal")
} else {
fmt.Println("person1 and person3 are not equal")
}
}
Below is the explanation for the program:
In this program, we have defined a Person struct type with two fields: name and age.
In the main function, we create two instances of the Person struct with different values and
then compare them using the equality operator ==. Since the two instances have different values, the comparison evaluates to false.
We then create a third instance of the Person struct with the same values as the first instance and compare it to the first instance using the == operator.
Since the two instances have the same values, the comparison evaluates to true.
As we can see, we were able to compare two instances of the Person struct using the equality operator.
Note that when comparing two structs, Go compares each of their fields using the == operator.
If all the fields of the two structs are equal, the comparison evaluates to true.
