Implement Weather Advice Switch

Introduction

In this challenge, as a junior software developer at a mobile app startup, you'll create a personalized weather recommendation feature that helps users choose appropriate clothing based on current weather conditions. You'll implement a Go program that uses a switch statement to provide clothing recommendations for different weather conditions, including snow, rain, sunny, and cloudy.

Implement the Weather Advice Function

Your task is to implement the weatherAdvice function using a switch statement to provide appropriate clothing recommendations for different weather conditions.

Tasks

Write a function weatherAdvice that takes a string argument (the weather condition).
Use a switch statement to provide recommendations for at least four weather conditions: snow, rain, sunny, and cloudy.
Include a default case for unrecognized conditions.
Print specific clothing advice for each condition using fmt.Println().

Requirements

Implement the weatherAdvice function in ~/project/weather_advice.go.
Use the provided main function to test the weatherAdvice function.
coat must be included in the advice for snow conditions.
umbrella must be included in the advice for rain conditions.
sunglasses must be included in the advice for sunny conditions.
jacket must be included in the advice for cloudy conditions.
The default case should print a message indicating that the weather condition is not recognized.

Example Output

When you run the program, the output should look like this:

go run weather_advice.go

--- Testing Weather Advice Function ---
For condition: Snow
Remember to wear a warm coat and snow boots! 🧣
For condition: Rain
Don't forget your umbrella and waterproof jacket! 🌂
For condition: Sunny
Wear sunglasses and light clothing! ☀️
For condition: Cloudy
A light jacket might be a good idea. ☁️
For condition: Unknown
Weather condition not recognized. Stay prepared!

✨ Check Solution and Practice

Summary

In this challenge, you implemented a Go program that uses a switch statement to provide personalized weather-based clothing recommendations. You modularized your solution into a separate function (weatherAdvice) and tested it using a series of predefined test cases. This exercise helped reinforce your understanding of switch-case syntax, function definitions, and control flow in Go.
