Variable Shadowing in Go
As a part of this blog post, I will try to explain about variable shadowing and how to avoid it. In programming, scope of variable defines to the places a variable can be referenced. In Golang, a variable name declared in a block can be redeclared in an inner block. This mechanism is called variable shadowing….

BABULAL TAMANGNeglecting integer overflow
Concepts Integer is a basic data types. Golang supports integer data types extensively. Integer are divided into two types which are signed and unsigned integer. Now we will see it’s types Signed integer in go Types Range Types Range int8 -128 to 127 int16 -32768 to 32767 int32 -2147483648 to 2147483647 int64 -9223372036854775808 to 9223372036854775807 Types…

A slice is a flexible and extensible data structure to implement and manage collections of data. Following are the different ways of slice initialization. While initializing a slice using make, we saw that we have to provide a length and an optional capacity. Forgetting to pass an appropriate value for both of these parameters when…

BABULAL TAMANGNot properly checking if a slice is empty
In the previous blog post we discussed about distinction between nil and empty slices. We have to clear about some notation, what is the idiomatic way to check if a slice contains elements? Not having clear answer can lead to subtle bugs. Let’s talk about the example, we call a getAmounts() function which returns a slice…
