// To wait for multiple goroutines to finish, we can
// use a *wait group*.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"sync"
"time"
)
// This is the function we'll run in every goroutine.
// Note that a WaitGroup must be passed to functions by
// pointer.
func worker(id int, wg *sync.WaitGroup) {
// On return, notify the WaitGroup that we're done.
defer wg.Done()
fmt.Printf("Worker %d starting\n", id)
// Sleep to simulate an expensive task.
time.Sleep(time.Second)
fmt.Printf("Worker %d done\n", id)

func main() {
// This WaitGroup is used to wait for all the
// goroutines launched here to finish.
var wg sync.WaitGroup
// Launch several goroutines and increment the WaitGroup
// counter for each.
for i := 1; i <= 5; i++ {
wg.Add(1)
go worker(i, &wg)
}
// Block until the WaitGroup counter goes back to 0;
// all the workers notified they're done.
wg.Wait()
// Note that this approach has no straightforward way
// to propagate errors from workers. For more
// advanced use cases, consider using the
// [errgroup package](https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/sync/errgroup).
