// Write a sample code for goroutine with ticker

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"time"
)

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

	go func() {
		// Write here to run your function
		for {
			select {
			case <-done:
				return
			case t := <-newTicker.C:
				fmt.Println("Ticker at, ", t)
			}
		}
	}()

	// Time to close ticker
	time.Sleep(10 * time.Second)

	newTicker.Stop()

	done <- true
	// This is important!

	fmt.Println("Ticker was now closed")
}
