// Golang program to delete an item from a map

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
	CountryCode := make(map[string]int)

	CountryCode["ind"] = 101
	CountryCode["aus"] = 102
	CountryCode["eng"] = 103
	CountryCode["rus"] = 104
	CountryCode["usa"] = 105

	delete(CountryCode, "rus")

	fmt.Println("India    :", CountryCode["ind"])
	fmt.Println("Australia:", CountryCode["aus"])
	fmt.Println("England  :", CountryCode["eng"])
	fmt.Println("Pakistan :", CountryCode["pak"])
	fmt.Println("USA      :", CountryCode["usa"])
}

In the main() function, we created a CountryCode map using make() function to store country code of specified country. Map store items in KEY/VALUE pair. Then we removed “rus” from CountryCode map using delete() function.
