// Basic sends and receives on channels are blocking.
// However, we can use `select` with a `default` clause to
// implement _non-blocking_ sends, receives, and even
// non-blocking multi-way `select`s.
package main

func main() {
messages := make(chan string)
signals := make(chan bool)
// Here's a non-blocking receive. If a value is
// available on `messages` then `select` will take
// the `<-messages` `case` with that value. If not
// it will immediately take the `default` case.
select {
case msg := <-messages:
fmt.Println("received message", msg)
default:
fmt.Println("no message received")

// A non-blocking send works similarly. Here `msg`
// cannot be sent to the `messages` channel, because
// the channel has no buffer and there is no receiver.
// Therefore the `default` case is selected.

// We can use multiple `case`s above the `default`

// select. Here we attempt non-blocking receives
// on both `messages` and `signals`.
