Prefixes for binary multiples

If you’re looking for 1024 constants to prefix you binary multiples may be somewhere in math package, unfortunately it doesn’t exist there. But luckily I found Rob Pike’s suggestion inside go-nuts

package main 

const (
    _ = 1 << (10*iota)
    // Prefixes for binary multiples.
 Kibi
 Mebi
 Gibi
 Tebi
 Pebi
 Exbi
)

func main() {
    println(Kibi)
}
// 1024
