I want create something that will ask for user input, then check if that user input = 1
The Scan code documentation says:
//Scan advances the Scanner to the next token, which will then be
//available through the Bytes or Text method. It returns false when the
//scan stops, either by reaching the end of the input or an error.
So you could do something like this:
package main
import (
"bufio"
"fmt"
"os"
)
func main() {
input := bufio.NewScanner(os.Stdin)
if input.Scan() && input.Text() == "1" {
fmt.Println("true")
}
}
The os.Stdin is how you make your Scanner get it's input from the stdin. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_streams#/media/File:Stdstreams-notitle.svg)
One note, pay attention for uppercase letters for exported functions. On line 12 you wrote
fmt.println
and it should be
fmt.Println
