Packages allow us to focus on the code reuse principle aka the DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself) principle. It enables us to write concise code in a structured manner. In this post, we are going to take a look at the package system in Go. What is a package in Go? A package is essentially a […]

Go has no apparent “pointer to a function” but it can store the functions and call it later making the function pointers implicitly defined. What is a function pointer? In some programming languages like C/C++, there can be a pointer that can store the address of a function and later call it using itself. This

We can replace characters in a String using the Golang library functions. This post will focus on library functions and what other options available for string replacement in Go. Can we use direct assignment to replace String Contents? When we have a string and we directly want to assign values at different index, the function

Pointers are a useful entity that stores a memory address in it. Structs are the building blocks of data structures in Go. In this post, we are going to explore pointers to a struct in Golang. Pointer to a Struct Syntax The syntax of a pointer to a struct is just like any other pointer.

Lists are an important aspect of programming. It is one of the most important data structures used today. In this post, we are going to explore about lists in Go. The “container/list” package To use lists in Go, we import the list package inside the container package. Then we can use the lists in Go

Almost everything we want to do in Go comes from some package. And to use those packages, we need to import them. In this post, we will explore different import methods available in Go. Types of imports in Go Go has different kinds of imports that are used for different cases. Here are the import

The sleep function is essential in cases where we want to stop the execution of the current thread temporarily. This is quite useful when we want to block current thread to let other threads do the work. In this post, we are going to explore Sleep() function in Golang. Importing time package for Sleep() Function

Logging is essential when creating large software that has a complicated flow of execution. In multiple stages of execution, it allows us to debug the program for errors. In this post, we are going to explore the Golang log package and what can we do with it. Importing Golang log Package To use logging in

Go supports base64 encoding and decoding out of the box. In this post, we are going to use the base64 encoder and decoder to create and use one of the most used encodings in Computer Science. What is encoding? Encoding is the way to convert one form of information to another form in a reversible

In multiple stages of a program, we need to print values or other data or we may need to log various data for debugging. This type of basic debugging helps us write better code. The fmt package supports various format specifiers for printing. In this post, we are going to discuss the fmt package in
