Example
Some languages have a native structure for sets. To make a set in Go, it's best practice to use a map from the value type of the set to an empty struct (map[Type]struct{}).
For example, with strings:
// To initialize a set of strings:
greetings := map[string]struct{}{
"hi": {},
"hello": {},
}
// To delete a value:
delete(greetings, "hi")
// To add a value:
greetings["hey"] = struct{}{}
// To check if a value is in the set:
if _, ok := greetings["hey"]; ok {
fmt.Println("hey is in greetings")
}
