10 Questions
What is the purpose of adding a generic function to the code?
To enable the function to work with both integer and float values using type parameters
Why is it important to specify the type parameters when calling the generic function?
To inform the compiler about what types should be used in place of the type parameters
What happens if the type argument provided during function call is not allowed by the type parameter's constraint?
The code won't compile
Why must a type parameter support all operations that the generic code performs on it?
To ensure that the function can work with different data types specified
When can you omit type arguments when calling a generic function?
When the compiler is able to infer the types from function arguments
What is the purpose of generics in Go?
To create functions or types that can work with any type provided by calling code
Why did the tutorial have two non-generic functions instead of one?
To work with two different types of maps: int64 values and float64 values
What is the advantage of using a generic function for maps in Go?
It reduces redundancy by allowing a single function for different map types
How does creating a folder for code relate to the topic of generics?
It helps organize the code but does not directly relate to generics
Why would you write one generic function for maps instead of separate functions for different map types?
To simplify the code and avoid duplication for handling different map types
Learn the basics of using generics in Go to declare and use functions or types that can work with a set of types. This tutorial covers creating non-generic functions and then transitioning to a single generic function. Explore various sections to build your understanding.
