Channel Behaviors

Reading a channel

• A receive from a nil channel blocks forever
• A receive from a closed channel returns the zero value immediately
• A receive on an empty channel blocks

Writing a channel

• A send to a nil channel blocks forever
• A send to a closed channel panics

// ElementsMatch compares two slices ignoring the order of the elements. If
// there are duplicate elements, the number of appearances of each of them in
// both lists should match. Empty and nil slices are treated as equal.
func ElementsMatch[S ~[]E, E comparable](s1, s2 S) bool {
	f len(s1) != len(s2) {
		return false
	}
	if len(s1) == 0 && len(s2) == 0 {
		return true

// This example demonstrates getting a series of results and an error from a
// goroutine, with the ability to cancel the goroutine. The goroutine can be
// canceled by stopping iteration (break out of the iteration loop), or by
// canceling a context, as may be the case if a context from outside of the
// iteration logic is provided.
//
// The first part of the example shows using channels to read the results and
// error, and using a context to cancel the goroutine before all results are
// received.
