What are conditional statements in Go?

Conditional statements in Go allow you to execute code based on certain conditions. The main types are if, else if, and switch.

Can you give me an example of an if statement?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

if x > 10 {
    fmt.Println("x is greater than 10")
} else {
    fmt.Println("x is 10 or less")
}

What about switch statements?

A switch statement allows you to execute different code based on the value of a variable. Here's an example:

switch day := "Monday"; day {
case "Monday":
    fmt.Println("Start of the week")
case "Friday":
    fmt.Println("End of the week")
default:
    fmt.Println("Midweek")
}

Are there any best practices for using conditional statements?

Yes! Keep your conditions simple, avoid deep nesting, and consider using switch statements for multiple conditions to improve readability.
