A **`for` loop** is used to iterate over elements in a variety of data structures (e.g., a slice, an array, a map, or a string).

The **`for` statement** supports one additional form that uses the keyword `range` to iterate over an expression that evaluates to an array, slice, map, string, or channel.


# Syntax
The basic syntax for a `for-range` loop is:
```go
for index, value := range mydatastructure {
		fmt.Println(value)
	}
```
- **`index`** is the index of the value we are accessing.
- **`value`** is the actual value we have on each iteration.
- **`mydatastructure`** holds the data structure whose values will be accessed in the loop.
> Note that the above example is highly generalized. The case-by-case examples given below will help you understand the syntax further.​

# Code
## 1. Iterating over a string
The `for-range` loop can be used to access individual characters in a string.
 

package main
import "fmt"

func main() {
  for i, ch := range "World" {
    fmt.Printf("%#U starts at byte position %d\n", ch, i)
  }
}

## 2. Iterating over a map
The `for-range` loop can be used to access individual key-value pairs in a map.

package main
import "fmt"

func main() {
  m := map[string]int{
    "one":   1,
    "two":   2,
    "three": 3,
  }
  for key, value := range m {
      fmt.Println(key, value)
  }
}

## 3. Iterating over channels
For channels, the iteration values are the successive values sent on the channel until its close.


package main
import "fmt"

func main() {
  mychannel := make(chan int)
  go func() {
      mychannel <- 1
      mychannel <- 2
      mychannel <- 3
      close(mychannel)
  }()
  for n := range mychannel {
      fmt.Println(n)
  }
}
