Closured Variables and the go Statement

Explore how closured variables behave inside closures with goroutines and the go statement in Go concurrency. Understand common race conditions caused by variable evaluation timing and learn practical techniques to correct these issues by creating new variable instances or passing variables as function parameters. This lesson equips you to write safer concurrent Go code by mastering variable scope and execution order.

The goClosure.go utility

In this lesson, we are going to talk about closured variables, which are variables inside closures, and the go statement. Notice that closured variables in goroutines are evaluated when the goroutine actually runs and when the go statement is executed in order to create a new goroutine. This means that closured variables are going to be replaced by ...
