Question

In python, we use backslash to indicate that the current statement continues to next line

for example,

a = b + c + s \
    + x + y

or simply,

a = b + c + s +
    x + y

Is it possible to do that in Go language? Thanks

Answer 1

Sure it is, just put an operator at the end, for example:

a = b + c + s +
    x + y

Also note that it’s not possible to break the line before the operator. The following code is invalid:

a = b + c + s
    + x + y

The rule is described here and in the specification.
