Goroutines are lightweight threads managed by Go&#8217;s runtime system. Creating a Goroutine is very simple, just add the keyword &#8220;go&#8221; before the function call. Here is a simple example:<\/p>\n<pre class=\"post-pre\"><code><span class=\"hljs-keyword\">package<\/span> main\r\n\r\n<span class=\"hljs-keyword\">import<\/span> (\r\n    <span class=\"hljs-string\">\"fmt\"<\/span>\r\n    <span class=\"hljs-string\">\"time\"<\/span>\r\n)\r\n\r\n<span class=\"hljs-function\"><span class=\"hljs-keyword\">func<\/span> <span class=\"hljs-title\">sayHello<\/span><span class=\"hljs-params\">()<\/span><\/span> {\r\n    <span class=\"hljs-keyword\">for<\/span> i := <span class=\"hljs-number\">0<\/span>; i &lt; <span class=\"hljs-number\">5<\/span>; i++ {\r\n        fmt.Println(<span class=\"hljs-string\">\"Hello\"<\/span>)\r\n        time.Sleep(<span class=\"hljs-number\">1<\/span> * time.Second)\r\n    }\r\n}\r\n\r\n<span class=\"hljs-function\"><span class=\"hljs-keyword\">func<\/span> <span class=\"hljs-title\">main<\/span><span class=\"hljs-params\">()<\/span><\/span> {\r\n    <span class=\"hljs-keyword\">go<\/span> sayHello()\r\n    time.Sleep(<span class=\"hljs-number\">3<\/span> * time.Second)\r\n    fmt.Println(<span class=\"hljs-string\">\"Main function\"<\/span>)\r\n}\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>In the example above, we created a Goroutine to execute the function sayHello(), and used the &#8220;go&#8221; keyword in the main function to start this Goroutine. In the sayHello() function, we looped to print &#8220;Hello&#8221; and slept for 1 second, while in the main function, we printed &#8220;Main function&#8221; and slept for 3 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>By this example, we can see that using Goroutines is very simple. Just add the &#8220;go&#8221; keyword before a function call to create a new Goroutine to execute the function concurrently. This concurrent execution can improve the performance and efficiency of the program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Go language, the concept of multi-threading is known as Goroutine.
