In Golang, a variable name declared in a block can be redeclared in an inner block. This mechanism is called variable shadowing….
Unnecessary nested code
Readable code requires less cognitive effort to maintain a mental model; hence, it is easier to read and maintain. A critical aspect of readability is the number of nested levels. Code is qualified as readable based on multiple criteria such as naming, consistency, formatting, and so forth. While programming, we need to maintain mental models…
Not being aware of the possible problem of type embedding
