  1. Challenge

    Reading CLI arguments

    In this lab, you’ll follow along with our instructions and build a command line application in Go. We'll start with a few existing functions and add functionality which parses CLI arguments and reads keyboard inputs from the terminal.

    By the end of this module, you’ll have read user input passed to our program as arguments via the command line. ### Solution To view the solution, run git diff origin/master..module1-solution in the Terminal, and press Enter to see the next lines of the difference.

    You may also browse the files of the solution by stashing your changes with git stash and running git checkout module1-solution to switch branches.

  2. Challenge

    Reading Keyboard Inputs

    By the end of this module, you'll have implemented logic for reading and parsing data provided by the user via keyboard inputs. ### Solution To view the solution, run git diff origin/master..module2-solution in the Terminal, and press Enter to see the next lines of the difference.

    You may also browse the files of the solution by stashing your changes with git stash and running git checkout module2-solution to switch branches.
