package main

import "fmt"

type Currency string

type Amount struct {
    Currency Currency
    Value float32
}

type Balance map[Currency]float32

func (b *Balance) Add(amount Amount) *Balance {
    current, ok := (*b)[amount.Currency]
    if ok {
        (*b)[amount.Currency] = current + amount.Value
    } else {
        (*b)[amount.Currency] = amount.Value
    }
    return b
}

func main() {
    b := &Balance{Currency("USD"): 100.0}
    b = b.Add(Amount{Currency: Currency("USD"), Value: 5.0})

    fmt.Println("Balance: ", (*b))
}
