# README

Channels

Empty structs are often used as tokens in Go programs. In this context, a token is a unary value. In other words, we don't care what is passed through the channel. We care when and if it is passed.

We can block and wait until something is sent on a channel using the following syntax

<-ch

This will block until it pops a single item off the channel, then continue, discarding the item.

Assignment

Our Mailio server isn't able to boot up until it receives the signal that its databases are all online, and it learns about them being online by waiting for tokens (empty structs) on a channel.

Complete the waitForDbs function. It should block until it receives numDBs tokens on the dbChan channel. Each time it reads a token the getDatabasesChannel goroutine will print a message to the console for you.
