package time
Golang time.Timer.Reset() function usage example. Kinda like resetting a time bomb example.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"time"
)
func main() {
durationToBlowUp := time.Duration(5) * time.Second
timer := time.NewTimer(durationToBlowUp)
go func() {
<-timer.C
fmt.Println("Timer blows!")
}()
// instead of 5 seconds, make it faster
// reset bomb to 2 seconds!!!!
reset := timer.Reset(time.Duration(2) * time.Second)
// ok go to sleep and wait for the pop sound
time.Sleep(time.Duration(6) * time.Second)
fmt.Println("Manage to reset timer from 5 to 2 seconds? : ", reset)
}
Output :
Timer blows!
Manage to reset timer from 5 to 2 seconds? : true
