Overview of this book

A new language on the block, V comes with a promising set of features such as fast compilation and interoperability with other programming languages. This is the first book on the V programming language, packed with concise information and a walkthrough of all the features you need to know to get started with the language. The book begins by covering the fundamentals to help you learn about the basic features of V and the suite of built-in libraries available within the V ecosystem. You'll become familiar with primitive data types, declaring variables, arrays, and maps. In addition to basic programming, you'll develop a solid understanding of the building blocks of programming, including functions, structs, and modules in the V programming language. As you advance through the chapters, you'll learn how to implement concurrency in V Programming, and finally learn how to write test cases for functions. This book takes you through an end-to-end project that will guide you to build fast and maintainable RESTful microservices by leveraging the power of V and its built-in libraries. By the end of this V programming book, you'll be well-versed with the V programming language and be able to start writing your own programs and applications.

Summary

In this chapter, we understood the concept of working with arrays and maps in detail. Regarding arrays, we understood the different types of arrays, including fixed-size arrays and multidimensional arrays, and performed various operations such as cloning, sorting, and filtering arrays.

We also learned about maps, how to initialize them, and performed various map operation techniques such as counting key-value pairs and retrieving values given keys. We also learned how to manipulate the key-value pairs of a map, including updating and deleting key-value pairs.

During the process of learning about the basic concepts of V programming, it is essential to know how to branch out the code to perform a different job using logical or relational operators and how to recursively perform operations. V will facilitate writing this type of code with the help of conditional statements, such as if, and to perform repeated operations or iterate over the bunch of items in a given array...
