In this example, we will show you how to create an anonymous function in Go with an example.

In Go, we can create anonymous functions. Anonymous functions do not have a name.

Go anonymous function

We create an anonymous function that adds three values. We pass three parameters to the function right after its definition.

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {

    sum := func(a, b, c int) int {
        return a + b + c
    }(1, 3, 5)

    fmt.Println("1+3+5 =", sum)
}

Output:

1+3+5 = 9
