How to check if a slice is empty in Golang

In this tutorial, you will learn how you can check if a slice is empty in Golang.

Check if a slice is empty

We can use the len() function to get the length of the slice in Golang.

Length of an empty slice is always 0

Example

import "fmt"

func main() {

    cities := make([]string, 0)
    if len(cities) == 0 {
        fmt.Println("The given slice is empty")
    }

    cities = append(cities, "New York")
    if len(cities) > 0 {
        fmt.Printf("The length of the slice is: %d", len(cities))
    }
}
