We know that goroutines can be a bit tricky at first, and often we find cases where the main goroutines will exit without giving a chance to the inside goroutines to execute.In order to be able to run the goroutines until the finish, we can either make use of a channel that will act as a blocker or we can use waitGroups that Go's sync package provides us with.Let's first explore a case where we have a single goroutines that we want to finish and then do some other work.Example 1Consider the code shown below.package main import (    "fmt" ...

Whenever we talk about appending elements to a slice, we know that we need to use the append() function that takes a slice as the first argument and the values that we want to append as the next argument.The syntax looks something like this.sl = append(sl, 1)Instead of appending a single number to the slice "sl", we can append multiple values in the same command as well.Consider the snippet shown below.sl = append(sl, 1, 2, 3, 4)The above code will work fine in Go.When it comes to appending a slice to another slice, we need to use the variadic function ...

The standard library of Golang provides a package that we can use if we want to sort arrays, slices, or even custom types. In this article, we will discover three main functions that we can use if we want to sort a slice in Golang. We will also see how we can create a custom sort function and custom comparator.Let's first check how we can sort a slice of integer, float64 and string values.ExampleConsider the code shown below.package main import (    "fmt"    "sort" ) func main() {    integerSlice := []int{3, 2, 14, 9, 11}    sort.Ints(integerSlice)   ...

Iota in Go is used to represent constant increasing sequences. When repeated in a constant, its value gets incremented after each specification. In this article, we will explore the different ways in which we can use iota in Go.Let's first consider a very basic example, where we will declare multiple constants and use iota.Example 1Consider the code shown belowpackage main import (    "fmt" ) const (    first = iota    second = iota    third = iota ) func main() {    fmt.Println(first, second, third) }OutputIf we run the command go run main.go, then we will get the ...

When it comes to parsing Date strings in Go, we can use the Parse function that is provided by the time package. In Go, we don't use codes like most other languages to represent the component parts of a date/time string. Instead, Go uses the mnemonic device - standard time as a reference.For example, the reference time can either look like this −Mon Jan 2 14:10:05 MST 2020 (MST is GMT-0700)Or, it can look like this as well.01/02 03:04:10PM '20 -0700SyntaxThe syntax of the Parse() function is shown below.func Parse(layout, value string) (Time, error)The Parse function takes a layout and ...

In order to be able to understand the anonymous goroutines, we must be aware of the existence of anonymous functions and goroutines. We will first explore the anonymous functions that are the real reason behind the motivation of anonymous goroutines and then we will learn a little about what goroutines are, before finally checking a few examples of anonymous goroutines.Anonymous functionsIn Golang, anonymous functions are those functions that don't have any name. Simply put, anonymous functions don't use any variables as a name when they are declared.We know that we declare a function with a similar syntax as shown below.func ... Read More

For a given circle with radius "r", write a Java program to find the perimeter of that circle. The circumference is also known as the perimeter. It's the distance around a circle. Circumference is given by the formula C = 2𝜋r where, pi/𝜋 = 3.14 and r is the radius of the circle − Example Scenario Input: radius = 5 Output: perimeter = 31.400000000000002 2 * 3.14 * 5 = 31.428571428571427 By Defining Constant Value for PI In this Java program, we define the value of PI as a constant and find the perimeter of circle ...

In this article, we will understand how to find the area of a trapezium using Java. The trapezium is a type of quadrilateral that has at least one pair of sides parallel to each other. The parallel sides of a trapezium are called bases and the non-parallel sides of a trapezium are called legs. It is also called a trapezoid. The area of a trapezium is calculated using the formula − (height/2 * (side_1 + side_2). i.e. Area = ½ x (sum of the lengths of the parallel sides) x perpendicular distance between parallel sides Below is a demonstration of ...

For a given input number, write a Java program to reverse its digits. In reverse operation, we print the digits of given number from the last to start. The digit at the last position is swapped with the digit at the first position, the second last digit is swapped with second position digit and so on. Example Scenario: Input: number = 123456; Output: rev_number: 654321 How to Reverse a Number in Java? There are multiple ways to reverse the digits of a given number. We are going to discuss the following: Using ... Read More

In this article, we will understand how to print a multiplication table in triangular form. To print in triangular form, the table will display row and column-wise. And in every row, entries will be up to the same column number. Below is a demonstration of the same - Input : rows = 7 Output: 1 2 4 3 6 9 4 8 12 16 5 10 15 20 25 6 12 18 24 30 36 7 14 21 28 35 42 49 Multiplication Table in a Triangular Shape Multiplication table in triangular form is achieved using a nested ...
