In Go, the `select` statement lets a goroutine wait on multiple communication operations. A `select` blocks untill one of its cases can run, then it executes that case. It chooses one at random if multiple are ready.
```go
ch1 := make(chan int)
ch2 := make(chan int, 100)
x := 0
for {
select {
case ch1 <- x:
x := x + 1
case y <- ch2:
fmt.Println("Received on channel")
default:
fmt.Println("Default")
}
}
```
In Fluid, we should be able to do the same:
```python
ch1 = fluid.make_chan(dtype=INT)
ch2 = fluid.make_chan(dtype=INT, 100)
sel = fluid.select()
with sel.case(ch1, 'w', X):
fluid.layers.increment(X)
with sel.case(ch2, 'r', Y):
fluid.print("Received on Channel")
with sel.default():
fluid.print("Default")
```
In the above code snippet, `X` and `Y` are variables. Now let us look at each of these statements one by one.
- `sel.case(ch1, 'w', X)` : This specifies that we are writing to `ch1` and we want to write the integer in variable `X` to the channel. The character `w` is used here to make the syntax familar to write syntax in Python I/O.
- `sel.case(ch2, 'r', Y)` : This specifies that we would like to read the result from `ch2` into variable `Y`. The character `r` is used here to make the syntax familar to read syntax in Python I/O.
- `sel.default()` : This is equivalent to the default in Go `select`. If none of the channels are ready for read or write, then the fluid code in the default block will be executed.
