range over interface{} which stores a slice

问题:

Given the scenario where you have a function which accepts t interface{}. If it is determined that the t is a slice, how do I range over that slice? I will not know the incoming type, such as []string, []int or []MyType, at compile time.

func main() {
    data := []string{"one","two","three"}
    test(data)
    moredata := []int{1,2,3}
    test(data)
}

func test(t interface{}) {
    switch reflect.TypeOf(t).Kind() {
    case reflect.Slice:
        // how do I iterate here?
        for _,value := range t {
            fmt.Println(value)
        }
    }
}

Well I used reflect.ValueOf and then if it is a slice you can call Len() and Index() on the value to get the len of the slice and element at an index. I don't think you will be able to use the range operate to do this.

package main

import "fmt"
import "reflect"

func main() {
    data := []string{"one","two","three"}
    test(data)
    moredata := []int{1,2,3}
    test(moredata)
} 

func test(t interface{}) {
    switch reflect.TypeOf(t).Kind() {
    case reflect.Slice:
        s := reflect.ValueOf(t)

        for i := 0; i < s.Len(); i++ {
            fmt.Println(s.Index(i))
        }
    }
}

You don't need to use reflection if you know which types to expect. You can use a type switch, like this:

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    loop([]string{"one", "two", "three"})
    loop([]int{1, 2, 3})
}

func loop(t interface{}) {
    switch t := t.(type) {
    case []string:
        for _, value := range t {
            fmt.Println(value)
        }
    case []int:
        for _, value := range t {
            fmt.Println(value)
        }
    }
}
