Go language provides inbuilt support implementation of run-time reflection and allowing a program to manipulate objects with arbitrary types with the help of reflect package. The reflect.MapKeys() Function in Golang is used to get a slice containing all the keys present in the map, in unspecified order. To access this function, one needs to imports the reflect package in the program.

Syntax:

func (v Value) MapKeys() []Value

Parameters: This function does not accept any parameter.

Return Value: This function returns a slice containing all the keys present in the map, in unspecified order.

Below examples illustrate the use of above method in Golang:

Example 1:




// Golang program to illustrate
// reflect.MapKeys() Function
    
package main
    
import (
    "fmt"
    "reflect"
)
  
// Main function
func main() {
    key := 10
    value := "Geeksforgeeks"
  
    mapType := reflect.MapOf(reflect.TypeOf(key), reflect.TypeOf(value))
  
    mapValue := reflect.MakeMap(mapType)
    mapValue.SetMapIndex(reflect.ValueOf(key), reflect.ValueOf(value))
  
    keys := mapValue.MapKeys()
    fmt.Println(keys)
  
}


Output:

[<int Value>]

Example 2:




// Golang program to illustrate
// reflect.MapKeys() Function
    
package main
    
import (
    "fmt"
    "reflect"
)
  
// Main function
func main() {
    key := 1
    value := "abc"
  
    mapType := reflect.MapOf(reflect.TypeOf(key), reflect.TypeOf(value))
  
    mapValue := reflect.MakeMap(mapType)
    mapValue.SetMapIndex(reflect.ValueOf(key), reflect.ValueOf(value))
    mapValue.SetMapIndex(reflect.ValueOf(2), reflect.ValueOf("def"))
    mapValue.SetMapIndex(reflect.ValueOf(3), reflect.ValueOf("gh"))
  
    keys := mapValue.MapKeys()
    for _, k := range keys {
        c_key := k.Convert(mapValue.Type().Key())
        c_value := mapValue.MapIndex(c_key)
        fmt.Println("key :", c_key, " value:", c_value)
    }
  
}


Output:

key : 1  value: abc
key : 2  value: def
key : 3  value: gh
