Summary of how to efficiently process collections in Go language

In Go, there are many ways to improve efficiency when processing sets (such as slicing, mapping, etc.). The following are some common and efficient ways to process collections, which are explained in combination with detailed code examples.

1. Use slices instead of arrays

Slices are commonly used in Go, and they are more flexible than arrays because the length of slices is variable.

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    // Create a slice    numbers := []int{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

    // Add elements    numbers = append(numbers, 6)

    // traverse slices    for i, num := range numbers {
        ("Index: %d, Value: %d\n", i, num)
    }
}

2. Use map for quick search

map is a key-value pair collection in Go, suitable for quick search and deduplication.

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    // Create a map    ages := map[string]int{
        "Alice": 30,
        "Bob":   25,
        "Carol": 28,
    }

    // Find elements    if age, ok := ages["Bob"]; ok {
        ("Bob's age is %d\n", age)
    } else {
        ("Bob not found")
    }

    // Add elements    ages["Dave"] = 32

    // Delete elements    delete(ages, "Carol")

    // traverse map    for name, age := range ages {
        ("%s is %d years old\n", name, age)
    }
}

3. Use concurrent and safe operations

If you need to operate a collection in a concurrent environment, you can use it, which is a concurrently secure mapping provided by Go.

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "sync"
)

func main() {
    var m 

    //Storage elements    ("key1", "value1")
    ("key2", "value2")

    // Load elements    if value, ok := ("key1"); ok {
        ("key1:", value)
    }

    // Delete elements    ("key2")

    // traverse map    (func(key, value interface{}) bool {
        (key, value)
        return true
    })
}

4. Sort the slices using the sort package

Go's sort package provides the ability to sort slices.

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "sort"
)

func main() {
    // Create a slice    numbers := []int{5, 2, 9, 1, 5, 6}

    // Sort the slices    (numbers)

    // Output sorted slices    (numbers)
}

5. Use the data structure in the container package

Go's container package provides data structures such as heap, linked list and circular linked list, which are suitable for collection operations in specific scenarios.

package main

import (
    "container/heap"
    "fmt"
)

// Define a minimum heaptype IntHeap []int

func (h IntHeap) Len() int           { return len(h) }
func (h IntHeap) Less(i, j int) bool { return h[i] < h[j] }
func (h IntHeap) Swap(i, j int)      { h[i], h[j] = h[j], h[i] }

func (h *IntHeap) Push(x interface{}) {
    *h = append(*h, x.(int))
}

func (h *IntHeap) Pop() interface{} {
    old := *h
    n := len(old)
    x := old[n-1]
    *h = old[0 : n-1]
    return x
}

func main() {
    h := &IntHeap{2, 1, 5}
    (h)

    (h, 3)
    ("minimum: %d\n", (*h)[0])

    for () > 0 {
        ("%d ", (h))
    }
}

6. Copy slices using copy function

The copy function can efficiently copy slices, avoiding potential problems caused by direct assignment.

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    // Create a slice    src := []int{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

    // Create a target slice    dst := make([]int, len(src))

    // Copy slices    copy(dst, src)

    // Output target slice    (dst)
}

7. Preallocate the capacity of slices and maps using make

Pre-allocated capacity can reduce the performance overhead caused by dynamic capacity expansion.

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    // Pre-allocated slice capacity    numbers := make([]int, 0, 10) // Length is 0 and capacity is 10    numbers = append(numbers, 1, 2, 3)

    // Pre-allocated map capacity    ages := make(map[string]int, 100) // Capacity is 100    ages["Alice"] = 30

    (numbers, ages)
}

8. Use defer and concurrent processing

When processing a collection concurrently, you can use , to wait for all goroutines to complete.

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "sync"
)

func process(num int, wg *) {
    defer ()
    ("Processing:", num)
}

func main() {
    var wg 
    numbers := []int{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

    for _, num := range numbers {
        (1)
        go process(num, &wg)
    }

    ()
    ("All goroutines finished")
}

Summarize

In Go, when processing sets, you can improve efficiency by using slicing, mapping, concurrently secure data structures, sorting, pre-allocating capacity, etc. Selecting the appropriate data structure and processing method according to the specific application scenario can significantly improve the performance of the program.
