# Concurrency in Go
Go is known for its excellent support for concurrency. The primary tools for concurrency in Go are goroutines and channels. Here’s an example:
package main
import ( "fmt" "time")
func say(s string) { for i := 0; i < 5; i++ { time.Sleep(100 * time.Millisecond) fmt.Println(s) }}
func main() { go say("world") say("hello")}
Channels are used to communicate between goroutines:
package main
import "fmt"
func sum(s []int, c chan int) { sum := 0 for _, v := range s { sum += v } c <- sum // send sum to channel}
func main() { s := []int{7, 2, 8, -9, 4, 0}
c := make(chan int) go sum(s[:len(s)/2], c) go sum(s[len(s)/2:], c) x, y := <-c, <-c // receive from channel
fmt.Println(x, y, x+y)}
Go’s concurrency model is simple yet powerful, making it a great choice for concurrent programming.
