Golang : Implementing class(object-oriented programming style)
If you are used to ways of doing things in Java or C++, such as declaring class and assigning different methods to the class. Golang has a unique way of implementing class with the type interface. This code example below demonstrate how to declare classes and assign methods to the classes.
package main
import (
"fmt"
)
type SayHelloIntFace interface {
SayHello()
}
type Person struct{}
// this method is tied to Person class
func (person Person) SayHello() {
fmt.Printf("Hello!")
}
type Dog struct{}
// this method is tied to Dog class
func (dog Dog) SayHello() {
fmt.Printf("woof! woof!")
}
func greeting(i SayHelloIntFace) {
i.SayHello()
}
func main() {
// instantiate objects
person := Person{}
dog := Dog{}
var i SayHelloIntFace
fmt.Println("\nPerson : ")
i = person
greeting(i)
fmt.Println("\n\nDog : ")
i = dog
greeting(i)
}
Output :
Person :
Hello!
Dog :
woof! woof!
