How to create an empty map in Go?

In Go, you can create an empty map using the make() function or using the map literal. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Using the make() function:
emptyMap := make(map[keyType]valueType)

Replace keyType with the type of key you want to use and valueType with the type of value you want to store in the map.

For example, if you want to create an empty map with string keys and integer values, you can do:

emptyMap := make(map[string]int)
  1. Using a map literal:
emptyMap := map[keyType]valueType{}

Again, replace keyType with the desired key type and valueType with the desired value type.

For example, to create an empty map with string keys and boolean values:

emptyMap := map[string]bool{}

Both methods will create an empty map that you can later populate with key-value pairs as needed.
