map function in Go

There is better stuff in the standard Go release but I wanted to try something for myself. In Go, this function is also called Map(), but is (of course) nicer. Anyhow, I’m liking this Go stuff more and more. Next I want to rewrite the DNS stuff in Go.

package main

import (
    "fmt"
)

type e interface{}

func mult2(f e) e { 
    switch f.(type) {
    case int:
	    return f.(int) * 2 
    case string:
	    return f.(string) + f.(string)
    }   
    return f
}

func Map(n []e, f func(e) e) {
    for k, v := range n { 
	    n[k] = f(v)
    }   
}

func main() {
    m := [...]e{1, 2, 3, 4}
    s := [...]e{"a", "b", "c", "d"}
    Map(&m, mult2)
    Map(&s, mult2)
    fmt.Printf("%v\n", m)
    fmt.Printf("%v\n", s)
}
