README

This program is like a counting game where we count in different ways and show off some cool number tricks. We're playing with squares (like 2x2 or 3x3) and looking at lists of numbers in fun ways.

Now, let's go through the thought process of writing this code:

  1. We want to show different ways of doing repetitive tasks (loops) in Go.

  2. First, we'll use the most common way to count from 0 to 9 and print the square of each number.

  3. Then, we'll do the same thing, but in a way that's like saying "do this, then check if we should do it again" (similar to a do-while loop in other languages).

  4. Next, we'll show how to do the same thing with an infinite loop that we stop when we want to.

  5. Finally, we'll show how to look at each item in a list of numbers, one by one.

Here's a breakdown of each part:

  1. Traditional for loop:

    • We count from 0 to 9
    • For each number, we print its square (the number times itself)
  2. For loop used as a do-while loop:

    • We start with 0
    • We print the square of the number
    • We increase the number by 1
    • We keep doing this until the number is 10
  3. Infinite loop with a break:

    • We start an infinite loop
    • We check if the number is 10, and if it is, we stop
    • If it's not 10, we print the square and increase the number
  4. Range loop over a slice:

    • We make a list of numbers (called a slice in Go)
    • We use range to look at each number in the list
    • For each number, we print its position in the list and the number itself

This code demonstrates different ways to use loops in Go. It shows that you can do the same task in multiple ways, and introduces the concept of iterating over a collection of items. The thought process involves starting with simple concepts and gradually introducing more complex ones, all while doing similar tasks (printing squares or list items) to show how different loop structures work.
