EXPLORATIONS

Small group touring.

Explorations are small group tours designed for travelers who are looking to travel in smaller groups (14–24 guests), enjoy lots of off the beaten path adventures, authentic culinary experiences, specialty tastings and chef-led demonstrations as well as more contact with the locals.

city stays + quick getaways

Spotlights are for travelers who enjoy single hotel stays and quick getaways. These tours offer travelers plenty of freedom to get out on their own, combined with the benefits of guided travel. During a relaxed, single hotel stay, immerse yourself in the fanfare of a grand city or unwind in the timeless countryside. Become a part of the local community—even if it’s just for a short while.

exploring the waterways of the world

Climb aboard for a slower, more intimate way to explore the world. These adventures, on small 4-star vessels, are a scenic and relaxing way to travel through the world’s beautiful waterways. Plus, many other tours now have on-ship stays, whether it’s exploring Nordic fjords or taking a privately chartered yacht to the Galápagos.

Intrepid Travel vs. On The Go Tours: Which Operator is Right For You?

Thinking about booking an epic tour but having trouble deciding between two operators who offer seemingly similar trips? Lucky for you, both  Intrepid  and  On The Go Tours  have a fantastic selection of trips to choose from, and we’re going to help you narrow down your options here. 

Group size, age requirements and travel styles

Intrepid  offers three main styles of trips:  Basix ,  Original  &  Comfort , depending on the preference of the traveller. Intrepid has a group size averaging from 10-12 people in most destinations, and the ages range from 18-65.

They also have specific family tours, tailored specifically for families, which are available to families and parents with children. The lower age limits for these tours depends on the destination, so it is best to check the tour itinerary of the tour you are interested in.

They also offer a range of travel styles, from active adventures to basic accommodations and more luxurious and special experiences. In general, Intrepid is targeted at people wanting to take part in adventure travel – experiencing the world with other adventurers in a small group.  

On The Go  tours typically have 16-18 travellers per group in most destinations, although sometimes the groups can be up to 45 travellers in some destinations.

The tours they offer are suited to travellers from their mid-twenties up to sixties, so there is a variety of ages travelling on the tours that are offered. A

s you explore the main attractions you will be accompanied throughout by On The Go Tours’ passionate, highly qualified English speaking guides to ensure you get the best possible experience whilst on tour.

They also offer private and custom tours, although their group tours are easily the most popular, allowing travellers the chance to meet others who are like-minded while exploring.

Physical Requirements

When travelling with  On The Go , there will usually be a moderate level of activity, like exploring historic sites, boarding trains, walking through local markets etc.

It is required to be in good health and have a normal level of fitness. With an average age of around 40, lots of over 50s and 60+ travel with On The Go.  

The physical requirements for Intrepid are similar, also requiring a reasonable amount of fitness; that is, you will be required to carry your own luggage, you will sometimes be taking public transport, and may need to carry your luggage to and from transport hubs or up stairs at your accommodation. 

Both  Intrepid  and  On The Go  may have particular trips, itineraries or excursions which require a higher level of fitness and more physical requirements (such as trekking, canoeing etc). These will be clearly marked on the individual tour itineraries, so it is best to read the itinerary for the tour you are interested in detail.

Accommodation

On The Go  uses a variety of accommodation including heritage hotels, boutique properties, floating hotels, premium junk boats and cruisers, depending on the destination.

These will usually be character-filled 3-5 star hotels & boutique properties that provide travellers with an authentic local experience, combined with convenience to stay as close to attractions as possible, while factoring in the tour itinerary.

As accommodation styles can vary from tour to tour, it is best to check the individual itinerary for the tour you are interested in. 

Intrepid  offers a variety of accommodation, with a focus on the facilities and character, as much as convenience. Sometimes in smaller destinations, they alternate tours to stay between a number of different homestays or hotels to ensure that they support more than one local partner.

They offer some authentic local accommodations, such as a family-run hotel, a hilltop monastery or a Bedouin camp. Accommodation for both is based on twin-shared accommodations where a single supplement is not mandatory but can be requested.

Transportation

On The Go  will use, for most tours, European standard private transportation. On some trips, they will sometimes use some public transport, as well as using ‘special transport’ for different locations.

This is usually distinctively local forms of transport; rickshaws in India, junk boats in Vietnam, bullet trains in China, feluccas in Egypt & long-tail boats in Thailand as an example. Details of transportation for each destination can be found in the detailed itinerary for each tour. 

Intrepid  will use a variety of modes of transportation including local transport (camels, tuk tuks) and private vehicles, as well as local public transport methods. Intrepid Travel takes pride in using professional local travel experts to guide their tours, and details of the transportation and guide can be found in each tours itinerary.

Destinations

Intrepid  offers tours to:  Europe ,  Asia ,  Africa ,  North America ,  Latin America ,  Australia/Oceania . 

On The Go  offers tours to:  Asia ,  Europe ,  Africa ,  Latin America , and  North America .

Intrepid  offers a range of tours around the world in many different locations, as does  On The Go  with the exception that On The Go doesn’t run tours in Australia/New Zealand.

Below, we have a price per day breakdown of the different regions.

Generally speaking, On The Go tours tend to be more expensive. The price difference is often due to the fact that On The Go  typically offers more of a complete package, including things like private transportation, complimentary airport transfers, etc.

Intrepid , on the other hand, is targeted more at the adventure traveller, so things like airport transfers generally aren’t included.

Intrepid starting from USD $86 per day On The Go starting from USD $104 per day 

Intrepid starting from USD $49 per day On The Go starting from USD $126 per day 

Australia / Oceania

Intrepid starting from USD $105 per day On The Go does not operate tours in this region 

Intrepid starting from USD $64 per day On The Go starting from USD $49 per day 

North America

Intrepid starting from USD $88 per day On The Go starting from USD $75 per day

Types of Hiking Tours: A Complete Guide

The allure of the great outdoors has never been stronger, with many travelers looking to explore the untouched landscapes, rugged terrains, and scenic trails the world has to offer. Hiking tours have become the gateway for many to experience this. 

Whether you’re a novice setting foot on a trail for the first time or a seasoned trekker looking for the next big challenge, there’s a hiking tour tailored just for you. In this guide, we’ll delve deep into the various types of hiking tours available, helping you select the perfect adventure. If you’re not sure about terminology, be sure to first read our guide on the different types of hiking .

What Are the Different Hiking Tour Types?

1. day hiking tours.

The perfect introduction for beginners, day hiking tours usually last several hours and bring you back to your starting point by day’s end. These tours offer the adventure of hiking without the commitment of an overnight stay. Suitable for families and individuals alike, they typically cover easy to moderate terrains, allowing you to enjoy nature’s beauty and still have a comfortable bed to sleep in at night.

Popular Destinations: National parks, coastal paths, and scenic countryside trails.

2. Multi-Day or Backpacking Tours

For those with a little more experience and a desire for immersion, multi-day hiking tours are the way to go. These involve trekking for several days, carrying essential gear, and either camping or staying in mountain huts or lodges. They offer the chance to delve deep into wilderness areas and are often more challenging, requiring good physical condition and some basic outdoor survival skills.

Popular Destinations: The Appalachian Trail, the Camino de Santiago, and the Annapurna Circuit.

3. Thru Hikes

Thru-hiking is the ultimate commitment for those looking to immerse themselves in long-distance trekking. This type of hike involves covering an entire trail or network of trails from end to end, often spanning hundreds or even thousands of miles. Unlike simpler multi-day hikes, thru-hiking demands considerable preparation and dedication, as hikers spend months on the trail, often traversing varying terrains and weather conditions. 

They carry their entire world on their backs, plan resupply points, and often form deep bonds with fellow thru-hikers they meet along the way. The experience, while demanding, offers an unparalleled sense of accomplishment and a deep connection to the land.

4. Guided vs Self-Guided Tours

• Guided Tours: Best for beginners or those looking for a structured experience. A knowledgeable guide leads the way, providing insights about the environment, culture, and history.
• Self-Guided Tours: Ideal for experienced hikers who prefer solitude or wish to hike at their own pace. While the tour company provides the itinerary, maps, and sometimes arranges accommodation, the hiker navigates the trail independently.

5. Thematic Hiking Tours

These tours are crafted around specific themes or interests. 

Examples include:

• Photography Tours: Focusing on capturing the scenic beauty, these are led by expert photographers.
• Historical & Cultural Tours: Wander through ancient ruins, pilgrimage routes, or trails that have historical significance.
• Wildlife Tours: Primarily focused on spotting and learning about local wildlife.

6. Luxury Hiking Tours

For those who love hiking but don’t want to compromise on comfort, luxury hiking tours are the answer. These tours combine day hikes with comfortable accommodations, gourmet meals, and sometimes spa treatments. At the end of a day’s hike, you can enjoy a luxurious retreat.

Popular Destinations: The vineyards of Tuscany, the scenic routes of New Zealand, and the trails of the Canadian Rockies.

7. Adventure and Survival Hiking Tours

These are for the adrenaline junkies. Beyond just hiking, these tours often incorporate elements like river crossings, mountaineering, or navigation challenges. They’re typically set in more rugged, less explored areas and demand a higher level of fitness and expertise.

Popular Destinations: The rugged trails of Patagonia, the high altitudes of the Himalayas, and the dense forests of the Amazon.

8. Pilgrimage Hiking Tours

Steeped in spiritual significance, these trails have been traveled for centuries by seekers and believers. They offer a blend of physical challenge, cultural immersion, and spiritual rejuvenation.

Popular Destinations: Camino de Santiago in Spain, Kumano Kodo in Japan, and Mount Kailash in Tibet.

9. Family-Friendly Hiking Tours

Tailored for families with children, these tours ensure safety and entertainment for younger hikers. The trails are usually shorter and less challenging, with plenty of engaging activities along the way, such as bird watching, scavenger hunts, or interactive learning about nature.

Popular Destinations: National parks, coastal trails, and easy mountain paths.

With the vast array of hiking tours available, it’s crucial to pick the one that aligns with your interests, fitness level, and overall travel goals. Whether you’re drawn to the serene landscapes, the thrill of the challenge, the cultural immersion, or a blend of them all, there’s a trail out there calling your name. 

As you plan your next hiking adventure, remember that every journey starts with a single step. All you have to do is take it.

• Share to Facebook
• Share to Twitter
• Share to Linkedin

If you’ve finished your second—or fourth—rewatch of Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour (Taylor's Version) on Disney+ and are ready to see the talented singer-songwriter live, we’ve compiled everything we know about how to get Taylor Swift tickets this year. Her Eras tour starts back up this May in Europe, then moves to the United States in October and finishes in Canada this November. Swift’s 15th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department , came out on April 19 (you can order it now ). That means it’s likely she’ll include songs from that record on her tour as well as hits from 2022’s Midnights .

Taylor Swift returns to the stage on her "Eras" tour from May through the end of the year. Here's ... [+] how to get Taylor Swift tickets now.

The 12 Best Outdoor Sectionals That Are Perfect For Lounging

The best pruning shears to tame all types of greenery, where to buy tickets to taylor swift’s “eras” tour.

For many people, Ticketmaster might be the first stop for getting Taylor Swift tickets, since the artist links out to this platform from her official website . Unfortunately, many of the Eras tour shows are already sold out on Ticketmaster, including concert dates in the United States (Miami, New Orleans and Indianapolis). But don’t be discouraged—we’ve rounded up some other ways to get Eras tour tickets.

• If you’re looking for tickets to one of her shows in Miami, New Orleans or Indianapolis, StubHub has tickets, but they’re pricey. Tickets start around $1,600 and go up to $8,300 for these locations. For the Canadian performances, StubHub tickets start at $965 U.S. dollars and go up to more than $10,000. Shows in Europe are more affordable, starting around $250.
• For some of the European shows, StubHub may redirect you to StubHub International , where the currency is in British pounds, euros, Polish złoty or Swedish krona. You might want to check out a currency converter before purchasing tickets to see how much you’ll pay in American dollars.
• SeatGeek has tickets available for Swift’s United States and Canada shows, with prices starting at $1,000.
• Vivid Seats has similar pricing to SeatGeek, with tickets starting at $1,000 in the U.S. and Canada. For her European shows, prices begin a little under $400.
• Swift’s three shows in Dublin, Ireland (taking place from June 28 to 30) aren’t available on Ticketmaster, StubHub or SeatGeek, but they are ready for purchase on TicketNetwork . Prices start around $350.
• Taylor Swift’s website also links out to AEG Presents , which takes users to AXS for several of her European shows. Unfortunately, many tickets are sold out on that reseller platform.

When Do Taylor Swift Tickets Go On Sale?

Tickets are already on sale for the 2024 Eras tour dates in North America and Europe, and are selling out fast. If you want to see Taylor Swift live this year, your best bet is to buy as soon as you find a location, date and price that works for you.

How Much Are Taylor Swift Tickets?

Make no mistake: Taylor Swift tickets aren’t cheap. You may find some good deals depending on the venue and how close to the stage you are, but almost any Swift tickets going to set you back anywhere from hundreds to thousands of dollars.

Her European show prices are vastly different from her North American ones, starting around $250. In all cases, though, don’t forget that these list prices will also come with ticket reseller fees added to the final price.

Taylor Swift 2024 Tour Dates

2024 Paris Olympics: Gold Medalist Nelly Korda Looking Forward to Olympic Games With Just Under 100 Days to Go

Korda 1 stroke back in suspended 3rd round of chevron championship as she chases 5th straight win.

• Nelly Korda

You’ll be relieved to know that Nelly Korda’s gold medal is no longer living in a sock.

That was how the reigning gold medalist traveled with one of the most coveted prizes in all of sports after she first won the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, often begging TSA agents to be as careful as possible not to scratch it when they had to inspect the large metal object in her luggage at airport security.

The 12-time LPGA Tour winner now has it displayed in her office at home, a perfect reminder of all that she accomplished in 2021, arguably her breakout season on the LPGA Tour.

That is until 2024 rolled around.

Three years ago, it felt like Korda was well on her way to superstardom, as she won four times during the 2021 season, one of which was a major championship, the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship at Atlanta Athletic Club.

Add a gold medal and her first-time ascension to No. 1 in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings into the mix, and Korda’s dominance couldn’t be argued, even with Jin Young Ko winning five times in the latter half of the season. And while it was chock full of some of the greatest accomplishments of her career, it’s a year that is now a little fuzzy in Korda’s mental photo album.

“I think I won like five times, including the Olympics, so it was such a blur of a year,” said Korda earlier this season at the FIR HILLS SERI PAK Championship. “There are memories that I created that (will) last a lifetime. One of the best things that year was winning in Florida for the first time and winning in front of my parents, an LPGA event for the first time, too.

“There are so many great things that went on in 2021. Hopefully, I can get some of that good juju in 2024.”

And that wish has definitely been granted this year for Korda, who has now more than established her dominance in professional golf. After a T16 finish at the season-opening Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, she won the LPGA Drive On Championship in her hometown of Bradenton, Fla., the next week, outlasting Lydia Ko in a two-hole playoff at Bradenton Country Club.

She took seven weeks off, electing to skip the LPGA Tour’s three early-spring events in Asia, and returned to competition at the FIR HILLS SERI PAK Championship, winning that tournament in a playoff over Ryann O’Toole and re-ascending to the top spot in the Rolex Rankings.

Korda then made a quick jaunt over to the Ford Championship presented by KCC in Gilbert, Ariz., collecting her third straight LPGA Tour title after firing a 7-under 65 in the waterlogged final round to win by two shots over Hira Naveed at Seville Golf and Country Club.

At that point, three in a row would’ve been more than enough wins for any other LPGA Tour player, an early-year performance on which one could have easily hung their hat for the rest of the season. But the always-hungry Korda kept on playing.

She teed it up in Las Vegas at the T-Mobile Match Play presented by MGM Rewards, adding another tally to her win column when she handily defeated Leona Maguire 4 and 3 in the championship match at Shadow Creek. It was then that Korda really leaned into the history she was making, cutting up and laughing with reporters in her winning press conference as she joked about the celebratory In-N-Out Burger she’d have later with her team.

It felt like Korda could finally let herself think just a little bit about what this kind of performance meant for women’s golf and who her name was now written alongside in the LPGA Tour record books.

“Kathy (Whitworth)'s really good friend actually texted me last week a photo of me being compared to Kathy on social media,” said Korda in her winning press conference in Las Vegas. “I wrote her back that it's an honor to be alongside her. I used to play in her event growing up, The Kathy Whitworth Invitational in Texas, and meeting her, and getting to talk to her was always the highlight of my year. She was always so nice, so getting compared to Kathy Whitworth is a huge honor.”

Her recent tear of victories has all but guaranteed Korda a spot on the United States Olympic team, and it shouldn’t matter too much what she does in the next few events before the end of the qualification period in June. She should be competing in France.

But even though she’s playing the best golf of her career right now and is arguably the hottest player in the world, male or female, Korda is unwilling to think of winning another medal in August at the Olympics as the bright lights of Paris beckon in the distance.

Just like she has with every single one of her victories this season, Korda is instead focusing on what’s right in front of her and has decided to worry about medals and podiums when that time comes later this year.

“I'll start thinking about that when I'm on the team. Still haven't secured my spot,” said Korda. “Any time I get to represent the Red, White and Blue it's a huge honor. That would be another thing I would be extremely grateful for.”

It’s a here-and-now mentality that’s served her well in recent months. And considering that her 2024 performance is eerily reminiscent of the strength she showed in 2021, it’s not a stretch to think that it could be an Old-Glory-draped Korda who once again has gold around her neck at Le Golf National.

She just might end up needing another sock.

Pete Townshend Now Says There Will Not Be a Who Farewell Tour: ‘I Was Being Sarcastic’

It turns out that when Pete Townshend recently told the New York Times that he was planning on a final Who farewell tour, he was “being sarcastic,” he told the “ Sound Up!” podcast in an interview released today (April 16).

“It feels to me like there’s one thing the Who can do, and that’s a final tour where we play every territory in the world and then crawl off to die,” he told the Times in an interview published last month.

Popular on Variety

When asked about that line in relation to his infamous boast — “I hope I die before I get old” — from the Who’s 1965 song “My Generation,” he continued, “That’s a twist, in a sense. ‘Slit Skirts’ was an honest confession of how I didn’t like what I’d become. When I wrote [‘My Generation’], I was celebrating the fact that I was young — I was 18 and surrounded by old people. Now, everybody seems younger. But in those days, everybody seemed older and they all seemed to be messed up, either miserable or poor or working too hard or complaining about something. The song was about, ‘I’m never gonna be like you if I’m old,’ and I don’t think I am like them. I’m happy and I’m struggling still, and I think I’m operating for the greater good — touch wood!” (Hear the full 50-minute interview here .)

However, even his comment to the Times showed a distaste for touring as the Who. Immediately after his statement to the paper above, he said, “I don’t get much of a buzz from performing with the Who. If I’m really honest, I’ve been touring for the money. My idea of an ‘ordinary lifestyle’ is pretty elevated.” As always, time will tell.

“Sound Up!” is hosted by former MTV VJ Mark Goodman and top music journalist Alan Light (both formerly of SiriusXM’s “Debatable”), is produced by Roger Coletti and distributed by Revolver Podcasts.

Tutorial: Getting started with generics

This tutorial introduces the basics of generics in Go. With generics, you can declare and use functions or types that are written to work with any of a set of types provided by calling code.

In this tutorial, you’ll declare two simple non-generic functions, then capture the same logic in a single generic function.

You’ll progress through the following sections:

• Create a folder for your code.
• Add non-generic functions.
• Add a generic function to handle multiple types.
• Remove type arguments when calling the generic function.
• Declare a type constraint.

Note: For other tutorials, see Tutorials .

Note: If you prefer, you can use the Go playground in “Go dev branch” mode to edit and run your program instead.

Prerequisites

• An installation of Go 1.18 or later. For installation instructions, see Installing Go .
• A tool to edit your code. Any text editor you have will work fine.
• A command terminal. Go works well using any terminal on Linux and Mac, and on PowerShell or cmd in Windows.

Create a folder for your code

To begin, create a folder for the code you’ll write.

Open a command prompt and change to your home directory.

On Linux or Mac:

On Windows:

The rest of the tutorial will show a $ as the prompt. The commands you use will work on Windows too.

From the command prompt, create a directory for your code called generics.

Create a module to hold your code.

Run the go mod init command, giving it your new code’s module path.

Note: For production code, you’d specify a module path that’s more specific to your own needs. For more, be sure to see Managing dependencies .

Next, you’ll add some simple code to work with maps.

Add non-generic functions

In this step, you’ll add two functions that each add together the values of a map and return the total.

You’re declaring two functions instead of one because you’re working with two different types of maps: one that stores int64 values, and one that stores float64 values.

Write the code

Using your text editor, create a file called main.go in the generics directory. You’ll write your Go code in this file.

Into main.go, at the top of the file, paste the following package declaration.

A standalone program (as opposed to a library) is always in package main .

Beneath the package declaration, paste the following two function declarations.

In this code, you:

• SumFloats takes a map of string to float64 values.
• SumInts takes a map of string to int64 values.

At the top of main.go, beneath the package declaration, paste the following main function to initialize the two maps and use them as arguments when calling the functions you declared in the preceding step.

• Initialize a map of float64 values and a map of int64 values, each with two entries.
• Call the two functions you declared earlier to find the sum of each map’s values.
• Print the result.

Near the top of main.go, just beneath the package declaration, import the package you’ll need to support the code you’ve just written.

The first lines of code should look like this:

Save main.go.

Run the code

From the command line in the directory containing main.go, run the code.

With generics, you can write one function here instead of two. Next, you’ll add a single generic function for maps containing either integer or float values.

Add a generic function to handle multiple types

In this section, you’ll add a single generic function that can receive a map containing either integer or float values, effectively replacing the two functions you just wrote with a single function.

To support values of either type, that single function will need a way to declare what types it supports. Calling code, on the other hand, will need a way to specify whether it is calling with an integer or float map.

To support this, you’ll write a function that declares type parameters in addition to its ordinary function parameters. These type parameters make the function generic, enabling it to work with arguments of different types. You’ll call the function with type arguments and ordinary function arguments.

Each type parameter has a type constraint that acts as a kind of meta-type for the type parameter. Each type constraint specifies the permissible type arguments that calling code can use for the respective type parameter.

While a type parameter’s constraint typically represents a set of types, at compile time the type parameter stands for a single type – the type provided as a type argument by the calling code. If the type argument’s type isn’t allowed by the type parameter’s constraint, the code won’t compile.

Keep in mind that a type parameter must support all the operations the generic code is performing on it. For example, if your function’s code were to try to perform string operations (such as indexing) on a type parameter whose constraint included numeric types, the code wouldn’t compile.

In the code you’re about to write, you’ll use a constraint that allows either integer or float types.

Beneath the two functions you added previously, paste the following generic function.

• Declare a SumIntsOrFloats function with two type parameters (inside the square brackets), K and V , and one argument that uses the type parameters, m of type map[K]V . The function returns a value of type V .
• Specify for the K type parameter the type constraint comparable . Intended specifically for cases like these, the comparable constraint is predeclared in Go. It allows any type whose values may be used as an operand of the comparison operators == and != . Go requires that map keys be comparable. So declaring K as comparable is necessary so you can use K as the key in the map variable. It also ensures that calling code uses an allowable type for map keys.
• Specify for the V type parameter a constraint that is a union of two types: int64 and float64 . Using | specifies a union of the two types, meaning that this constraint allows either type. Either type will be permitted by the compiler as an argument in the calling code.
• Specify that the m argument is of type map[K]V , where K and V are the types already specified for the type parameters. Note that we know map[K]V is a valid map type because K is a comparable type. If we hadn’t declared K comparable, the compiler would reject the reference to map[K]V .

In main.go, beneath the code you already have, paste the following code.

Call the generic function you just declared, passing each of the maps you created.

Specify type arguments – the type names in square brackets – to be clear about the types that should replace type parameters in the function you’re calling.

As you’ll see in the next section, you can often omit the type arguments in the function call. Go can often infer them from your code.

Print the sums returned by the function.

To run your code, in each call the compiler replaced the type parameters with the concrete types specified in that call.

In calling the generic function you wrote, you specified type arguments that told the compiler what types to use in place of the function’s type parameters. As you’ll see in the next section, in many cases you can omit these type arguments because the compiler can infer them.

Remove type arguments when calling the generic function

In this section, you’ll add a modified version of the generic function call, making a small change to simplify the calling code. You’ll remove the type arguments, which aren’t needed in this case.

You can omit type arguments in calling code when the Go compiler can infer the types you want to use. The compiler infers type arguments from the types of function arguments.

Note that this isn’t always possible. For example, if you needed to call a generic function that had no arguments, you would need to include the type arguments in the function call.

• Call the generic function, omitting the type arguments.

Next, you’ll further simplify the function by capturing the union of integers and floats into a type constraint you can reuse, such as from other code.

Declare a type constraint

In this last section, you’ll move the constraint you defined earlier into its own interface so that you can reuse it in multiple places. Declaring constraints in this way helps streamline code, such as when a constraint is more complex.

You declare a type constraint as an interface. The constraint allows any type implementing the interface. For example, if you declare a type constraint interface with three methods, then use it with a type parameter in a generic function, type arguments used to call the function must have all of those methods.

Constraint interfaces can also refer to specific types, as you’ll see in this section.

Just above main , immediately after the import statements, paste the following code to declare a type constraint.

Declare the Number interface type to use as a type constraint.

Declare a union of int64 and float64 inside the interface.

Essentially, you’re moving the union from the function declaration into a new type constraint. That way, when you want to constrain a type parameter to either int64 or float64 , you can use this Number type constraint instead of writing out int64 | float64 .

Beneath the functions you already have, paste the following generic SumNumbers function.

• Declare a generic function with the same logic as the generic function you declared previously, but with the new interface type instead of the union as the type constraint. As before, you use the type parameters for the argument and return types.

Call SumNumbers with each map, printing the sum from the values of each.

As in the preceding section, you omit the type arguments (the type names in square brackets) in calls to the generic function. The Go compiler can infer the type argument from other arguments.

Nicely done! You’ve just introduced yourself to generics in Go.
