How to check if var is map, slice or interface?

Does any one know if in Go I we have something like is ?

I need to understand if a var. is map or interface.

In Python I can do smt like this:

map = list()
print(map is list())
if map is list():
   # do something

In Go I tried to do the same:

var name map[string]string{
    "name": "surname"
}

var surname []interface{}

fmt.Println(reflect.TypeOf(name) map[string]string{})
fmt.Println(reflect.TypeOf(surname) []interface{})
if name == map[string]string{}{
    //do something
}

Thanks in advance!

>Solution :

Use a type assertion to assert that an interface value contains a concrete value of a type:

var v interface{} = /* some value */
if v, ok := v.(map[string]string); ok{
    // v has type map[string]string
}

Use a type switch when checking several types:

switch v := v.(type) {
case string:
     // v has type string
case map[string]string:
     // v has type map[string]string
default:
     panic(fmt.Sprintf("type %T not handled", v))
}
