Create a ticker

In this example, we create a new ticker using time.NewTicker, specifying a duration of 1 second. We then start a Goroutine that listens to the ticker.C channel, which will receive a value every time the ticker fires. Inside the Goroutine, we perform the desired action, which in this case is printing a message.

package main

import (
"fmt"
"time"
)

func main() {
t := time.NewTicker(time.Second * 1)
done := make(chan bool)

go func() {
for {
select {
case <-done:
return
case i := <-t.C:
fmt.Println("Time is : ", i.String())
}
}
}()

time.Sleep(10 * time.Second)
t.Stop()
done <- true

fmt.Println("***Done***")
}
