Budget — Subtract a Constant 3
Go Programming Basics · Go
TASK
Problem
An integer `n` is entered. Compute `n - 3` and print the result.
EXAMPLE
Example
13
10
LIMITS
Constraints
- Unless the statement says otherwise, integer inputs have absolute value at most 1,000,000. - Every divisor used in the task is non-zero. - Floating-point test values are chosen so the required arithmetic fits `float64`.

Theory for this problem
+
`fmt.Scan`/`fmt.Fscan` parses whitespace-separated input into typed variables. The variable type controls how later arithmetic and comparisons behave.
Apply these rules directly to the task requirement: an integer `n` is entered. Compute `n - 3` and print the result.

Hints
+
['Read values in exactly the order stated by the condition.', 'Check the solution on a minimal, typical, and boundary input.', 'Use the sample input `13` to verify parsing and confirm that the program prints exactly `10` with no extra text.']
ANSWER
Solution
+
package main
import (
"fmt"
)
func main() {
var n int
fmt.Scan(&n)
result := n - 3
fmt.Println(result)
}
