Iterations over slices, maps, channels are very cool, usually straight to the point :
func main() { for _, a := range []int{6, 4} { for _, b := range []int{2, 3} { for fname, f := range map[string]func(int, int) int{ "plus": func(x, y int) int { return x + y }, "minus": func(x, y int) int { return x - y }, "times": func(x, y int) int { return x * y }, "div": func(x, y int) int { return x / y }, } { fmt.Println(a, fname, b, "is", f(a, b)) } } } } Playground <https://play.golang.org/p/SzkcLpyJI3> Then you may tell some specific details : why the underscores for ignored iteration variables, and why the map iteration order is not the same as the order in the code. Also, I find these iterations quite versatile in practice, but they work only on built-in types (you won't have java-like custom iterables).
