# Weather Forecast
|
||||
|
||||
Welcome to Weather Forecast on Exercism's Go Track.
|
||||
If you need help running the tests or submitting your code, check out `HELP.md`.
|
||||
If you get stuck on the exercise, check out `HINTS.md`, but try and solve it without using those first :)
|
||||
|
||||
## Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
In the previous exercise, we saw that there are two ways to write comments in Go: single-line comments that are preceded by `//`, and multiline comment blocks that are wrapped with `/*` and `*/`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Documentation comments
|
||||
|
||||
In Go, comments play an important role in documenting code. They are used by the `godoc` command, which extracts these comments to create documentation about Go packages. A documentation comment should be a complete sentence that starts with the name of the thing being described and ends with a period.
|
||||
|
||||
Comments should precede packages as well as exported identifiers, for example exported functions, methods, package variables, constants, and structs, which you will learn more about in the next exercises.
|
||||
|
||||
A package-level variable can look like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// TemperatureCelsius represents a certain temperature in degrees Celsius.
|
||||
var TemperatureCelsius float64
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Package comments
|
||||
|
||||
Package comments should be written directly before a package clause (`package x`) and begin with `Package x ...` like this:
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// Package kelvin provides tools to convert
|
||||
// temperatures to and from Kelvin.
|
||||
package kelvin
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Function comments
|
||||
|
||||
A function comment should be written directly before the function declaration. It should be a full sentence that starts with the function name. For example, an exported comment for the function `Calculate` should take the form `Calculate ...`. It should also explain what arguments the function takes, what it does with them, and what its return values mean, ending in a period):
|
||||
|
||||
```go
|
||||
// CelsiusFreezingTemp returns an integer value equal to the temperature at which water freezes in degrees Celsius.
|
||||
func CelsiusFreezingTemp() int {
|
||||
return 0
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
In this exercise, your task is to help a weather station manage their weather forecasting program.
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Document package weather
|
||||
|
||||
Write a package comment for `package weather` that describes its contents.
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Document the CurrentCondition variable
|
||||
|
||||
Write a comment for the package variable `CurrentCondition`.
|
||||
|
||||
This should tell any user of the package what information the variable stores, and what they can do with it.
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Document the CurrentLocation variable
|
||||
|
||||
Just like the previous step, write a comment for `CurrentLocation`.
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Document the Forecast() function
|
||||
|
||||
Write a function comment for `Forecast()`.
