If you’ve made it to this exercise, then you’ve finished Go’s conditionals lesson, great job!

Here are the topics covered In this lesson:

• How to create an if statement that checks a condition and executes code if the condition is true
• How to add an else if statement to check for additional conditions.
• The use of an else statement that runs by default if none of the previous conditional statements evaluated to true.
• Comparison operators check between two operands and evaluate to a boolean.
• Logical operators check between two boolean values and return a single boolean.
• switch statements can be used to check between multiple conditions much like an if… else if… else statement.
• Short variable declarations can be used prior to providing a condition for either if or switch statements. Declared variables are scoped to the statement blocks.
• The math/rand library’s .Intn() method is used to generate random numbers.
• Go uses a seed value to as a starting point for generating random numbers.
• Unique seed values can be created using time, namely rand.seed(time.Now().UnixNano())

Including conditionals in allows you to add a layer of logic to your code to address many different scenarios. It’s an important foundational skill to have under your belt as a developer.
