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.

Summary

This chapter introduced database operations and web forms. Now, you will be able to build web applications that can store data in databases. Arrays, slices, two-dimensional slices, and maps were covered with code samples. Array methods such as len, iterating through an array using for, and range were explained in this chapter using code snippets. Two-dimensional arrays and slice of slices were discussed in the Slices section.

Maps were explained with various scenarios such as adding keys and values, as well as retrieving and deleting values. Maps of different types, such as strings and integers, were also discussed in this chapter. Furthermore, variadic functions, deferred function calls, and panic and recover operations were demonstrated in the Database operations and CRUD web forms sections.
