Today, in the IT world, software testing has become an essential part and to do it, clients often outsource or give the contract of software testing to other companies. Such companies have many resources and employees for to offer quality testing and deliver quality products as per client’s needs and requirements. A company receives a contract along with an amount that is decided during the initial agreement.Testers usually followed this traditional approach until the concept of Crowdsourced Testing came into existence. This testing is an emerging trend that performs a task similar to that which is usually performed in traditional ... Read More
Decorator function pattern is a pattern that is mainly found in Python and JavaScript, but we can also use it in Golang.It is a pattern in which we can add our own functionality over a current function by wrapping it. Since functions in Golang are considered firstclass objects, which in turn means that we can pass them as arguments as we would in the case of a variable.Example 1Let's start with a very simple example to understand the basic case of passing a function as an argument to an already existing function.Consider the code shown below.package main import ( ...

To extract columns with a particular string in column name of an R data frame, we can use grepl function for column names and then subset the data frame with single square brackets.For Example, if we have a data frame called df and we want to extract columns that has X in their names then we can use the command mentioned below −df[grepl("X",colnames(df))]Example 1Following snippet creates a sample data frame −Students_Score
Sometimes there are cases where we want to know which user is executing the current program and in which directory and we can get all these details with the help of the user package that is present inside the os package of Go's standard library.In this article, we will explore three such cases, where first, we will log out the username who is executing the current process and then we will log out the name along with the id and finally, we will log out from the directory in which the current program is located.Getting the UsernameTo get the username, ...

In case we want to get the size of an array or a slice, we can make use of the built-in len() function that Go provides us with.Example 1Let's first explore how to use the len function with an array. Consider the code shown below.package main import ( "fmt" ) func main() { fmt.Println("Inside the main function") arr := [3]int{1, 2, 3} fmt.Println("The length of the array is:", len(arr)) }In the above code, we are using the len function on the array defined as arr.OutputIf we run the command go run main.go ...

We can close a channel in Golang with the help of the close() function. Once a channel is closed, we can't send data to it, though we can still read data from it. A closed channel denotes a case where we want to show that the work has been done on this channel, and there's no need for it to be open.We open the channel the moment we declare one using the make keyword.ch := make(chan int)Example 1Let's consider a very simple example, in which we will create a buffered channel and then pass data to it and then close ...

There are cases where we would want to know if the URL that we got from an http request in the form of a string is even valid or not. In such cases, one can use two functions that the net/url package of Go's standard library provides.Example 1The first basic case is to check if the URL is well structured and a valid one, and for that, we can use the ParseRequestURI() function of the URL package.Consider the code shown below.package main import ( "fmt" "net/url" ) func main() { u, err := url.ParseRequestURI("http://golangcode.com") ...

To replace 0 with NA in an R matrix, we can use subsetting with single square brackets and then set zeros to NA.For Example, if we have a matrix called M that contains some zeros then we can replace 0 with NA by using the command mentioned below −M[M==0]
There may be instances in Golang where the execution of different goroutines may cause unexpected behaviour. In such cases, we want to make sure that certain goroutines work in a predefined manner and the program waits for all goroutines that are launched from the main function to wait. To do that, we use of WaitGroups.WaitGroups allow us to tackle the problem mentioned above as they block the code until any goroutines within the WaitGroup has been successfully executed.A WaitGroup has three exported methods that we make use of. These are −Add(int) – Increases the counter.Wait() – Blocks the execution until ... Read More
In order to understand why mutex in Go play a significant role to write better and accurate concurrent programs, we must first be aware of the concept called Race Conditions. Let's first understand what Race conditions are and how we can write a concurrent program that features a race condition and how we can then introduce mutex in that program to make it accurate.Race ConditionA race condition is a condition in which multiple goroutines are trying to access and modify the same resource. It could be the case that one goroutines is trying to increase a value of a particular ... Read More
