Printing a multiplication table is the simplest way to feel comfortable with a for loop and formatted output. One loop, ten lines, and you are done.

Statement

Given a number n, print its multiplication table from n × 1 to n × 10. Each line has the form n x i = result.

Constraints:

Use a single for loop that runs i from 1 to 10.
Format each line exactly as n x i = result, with a space around each symbol.
Print one line per multiplier.

Example

For n = 3, the expected output is:

3 x 1 = 3
3 x 2 = 6
3 x 3 = 9
3 x 4 = 12
3 x 5 = 15
3 x 6 = 18
3 x 7 = 21
3 x 8 = 24
3 x 9 = 27
3 x 10 = 30

Starter code

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
	n := 3
	// Loop i from 1 to 10 and print "n x i = result".
}

Hints

Hint 1

A for i := 1; i <= 10; i++ loop gives you every multiplier from one to ten.

Hint 2

fmt.Printf lets you build the line with a format string. The verb %d prints an integer.

Hint 3

Inside the loop, call fmt.Printf("%d x %d = %d\n", n, i, n*i). The \n moves to the next line.

Solution

Show the solution

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
	n := 3

	for i := 1; i <= 10; i++ {
		fmt.Printf("%d x %d = %d\n", n, i, n*i)
	}
}

The loop runs i through the values 1 to 10. On each pass, fmt.Printf fills the three %d placeholders with n, the current i, and the product n*i, then the \n escape ends the line. Ten iterations produce the ten rows of the table.

Common mistakes:

Using fmt.Println with string concatenation, which is harder to read and easy to get wrong. Printf with %d is clearer.
Forgetting the \n in the format string, so every result lands on one line.
Starting the loop at 0, which adds an unwanted n x 0 = 0 row.

The for loop is the only loop Go has, and it does a lot. Master it in Loops in Go.
