Overview of this book

Golang is one of the fastest growing programming languages in the software industry. Its speed, simplicity, and reliability make it the perfect choice for building robust applications. This brings the need to have a solid foundation in data structures and algorithms with Go so as to build scalable applications. Complete with hands-on tutorials, this book will guide you in using the best data structures and algorithms for problem solving. The book begins with an introduction to Go data structures and algorithms. You'll learn how to store data using linked lists, arrays, stacks, and queues. Moving ahead, you'll discover how to implement sorting and searching algorithms, followed by binary search trees. This book will also help you improve the performance of your applications by stringing data types and implementing hash structures in algorithm design. Finally, you'll be able to apply traditional data structures to solve real-world problems. By the end of the book, you'll have become adept at implementing classic data structures and algorithms in Go, propelling you to become a confident Go programmer.

Classic Algorithms

Classic algorithms are used in the areas of data search and cryptography. Sorting, searching, recursing, and hashing algorithms are good examples of classic algorithms. Sorting algorithms are used to order elements into either an ascending or descending key arrangement. These algorithms are frequently used to canonicalize data and to create readable content. Search algorithms are used to find an element in a set. A recursive algorithm is one that calls itself with input items. A hashing algorithm is a cryptographic hash technique. It is a scientific calculation that maps data with a subjective size to a hash with a settled size. It's intended to be a single direction function, that you cannot alter.

In this chapter, we will cover the different classic algorithms and explain them with suitable examples.

This chapter covers the following algorithms:

  • Sorting...
