# Do Something N Times
With Go 1.23 there is a new for-range syntax that makes looping a bit easier
and more compact.
Instead of needing to set up our 3-part for-loop syntax, we can say we want to
do something `N` times with `for range N`.
```go
for range n {
// do something
}
```
Let's look at an actual, runnable example:
```go
package main
import "fmt"
import "math/rand"
import "time"
func main() {
rand.Seed(time.Now().UnixNano())
food := []string{"taco", "burrito", "torta", "enchilada", "tostada"}
for range 5 {
randomIndex := rand.Intn(len(food))
fmt.Println(food[randomIndex])
}
}
```
The output is random and might look something like this:
```bash
$ go run loop.go
taco
burrito
tostada
taco
enchilada
```
I appreciate this syntax addition because it feels very akin to Ruby's `#times`
method:
```ruby
5.times do
# do something
end
```

# Add Styled Alerts To GitHub Markdown Documents
The GFM (GitHub Flavored Markdown) variant of markdown adds some nice features
to our GitHub-rendered markdown documents.
One such feature that has been around for a couple years, but which I only just
learned about, are these styled alerts. There are five of them each with a
different color and icon to help convey meaning.
```
> [!NOTE]
> Useful information that users should know, even when skimming content.
> [!TIP]
> Helpful advice for doing things better or more easily.
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Key information users need to know to achieve their goal.
> [!WARNING]
> Urgent info that needs immediate user attention to avoid problems.
> [!CAUTION]
> Advises about risks or negative outcomes of certain actions.
```
I just added the following to the top of one of my project's READMEs to help me
remember that it is not under active development.
```
> [!WARNING]
> This repo is not under active development, you might be looking for

```
Visit the GitHub docs for
[Alerts](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax#alerts)
to see examples of how these render.
