I want to scan a line of integers from stdin into a slice of integers. Each integer is separated by whitespace. Ther would be as many as N integers of user input. I'm trying not to use a for loop. For example,
1 15 16 17
So far, this is my function to perform the task,
var array []int
func read(b int) {
if b == 0 {
return
}
fmt.Scanf("%d", &array)
read(b - 1)
}
The idea is to read from the input, 1 15 16 17, and make it into a slice with value [1 15 16 17]
After compiling, I got the error,
Runtime error
For example,
package main
import "fmt"
var a []int
func read(b int) {
if b == 0 {
return
}
var i int
_, err := fmt.Scanf("%d", &i)
if err != nil {
return
}
a = append(a, i)
read(b - 1)
}
func main() {
read(4)
fmt.Println(a)
}
Input:
1 15 16 17<Enter>
Output:
[1 15 16 17]
Not recursive, but just reading integers until stdin is closed or something that can't be converted to an integer is read.
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
var array []int
var i int
for {
_, err := fmt.Scan(&i)
if err != nil {
break
}
array = append(array, i)
fmt.Println("read number", i, "from stdin, array ", array)
}
}
