Implementation of the Map exercise in “A Tour of Go”

When you begin to learn the trending Go lang you may have encounter with the map exercise to implement the WordCount. Here is how I implemented it.

package main

import (
       "golang.org/x/tour/wc"
       "strings"
)

func WordCount(s string) map[string]int {

       var stringArray []string = strings.Fields(s)
       wordMap := make(map[string]int)
       for _, word := range stringArray {
              count, ok := wordMap[word]
              if ok {
                     wordMap[word] = count + 1
              } else {
                     wordMap[word] = 1
              }
       }
       return wordMap
}

func main() {
       wc.Test(WordCount)
}
