# Buffered Channels Channels can *optionally* be buffered. ## Creating a channel with a buffer You can provide a buffer length as the second argument to `make()` to create a buffered channel: ```go ch := make(chan int, 100) ``` Sending on a buffered channel only blocks when the buffer is *full*. Receiving blocks only when the buffer is *empty*. ## Assignment We want to be able to send emails in *batches*. A *writing* goroutine will write an entire batch of email messages to a buffered channel, and later, once the channel is full, a *reading* goroutine will read all of the messages from the channel and send them out to our clients. Complete the `addEmailsToQueue` function. It should create a buffered channel with a buffer large enough to store all of the `emails` it's given. It should then write the emails to the channelĀ in order, and finally return the channel.
