📚 Repository Structure

The repository is organized by topic to make finding specific information and examples easy.

1. Concepts

Core language fundamentals and mechanics.

• Variables: Declarations, types, and scope.
• Functions: Technical table of function features, closures, and variadic parameters.
• Structs: Custom types and composition.
• Interfaces: Duck typing and decoupling in Go.
• Errors: Idiomatic error handling patterns.
• Language Spec: Official Go specification files.

2. Data Structures

Built-in and custom data structure implementations.

• Slices: Reference table for slice operations and the slices package.
• Maps: Reference table for map operations and the maps package.
• Strings: Reference table for strings and strconv packages.
• Linked Lists: Custom implementations and container/list.
• Stacks: Slice-based and linked-list stack implementations.
• Trees: Binary trees, BSTs, and traversal algorithms.

3. Algorithms

Common algorithms implemented in Go.

• Sorting: Quick Sort, Merge Sort, and the sort package reference.
• Searching: Binary search and other search techniques.
• Recursion: Factorials, Fibonacci, and recursive patterns.

4. Standard Library

Detailed guides and technical tables for Go's standard packages.

• Built-in Functions: Full technical table of all Go built-ins (append, make, len, clear, etc.).
• OS: File system, environment variables, and process management.
• IO: Readers, writers, and stream manipulation.
• Utilities: Common helper functions, filters, and file operations.

5. Advanced Topics

Complex systems and concurrent programming.

• Concurrency: Goroutines, channels, and synchronization primitives.
• Networking: TCP/UDP, JSON fetching, and URL parsing.
• Web: HTTP servers, templates, and REST API examples.

🚀 Getting Started

Each directory contains a main.go or specific example files. You can run them directly using the Go tool:

# Example: Run the built-in functions demo
go run standard_library/builtins/main.go

🛠 Features

• Technical Tables: Most documentation files include "Quick Reference" tables for functions, methods, and types.
• Idiomatic Code: Examples follow Go best practices and utilize modern features (Go 1.21+ where applicable).
• Comprehensive Coverage: From basic variables to advanced concurrency and networking.
