    if r := recover(); r != nil {
        log.Println("Recovered from:", r)
    }
}()
Copy after login

78. What is the difference between map and struct?

  • map is a dynamic data structure with key-value pairs.
  • struct is a static data structure with fixed fields.

79. What is unsafe package?

The unsafe package allows low-level memory manipulation. It is not recommended for regular use.

80. How do you achieve dependency injection in Go?

Use interfaces and constructor functions to pass dependencies, allowing easy mocking and testing.

type HttpClient interface{}

func NewService(client HttpClient) *Service {
    return &Service{client: client}
}
Copy after login

81. How does Goroutine differ from a thread?

A Goroutine is a lightweight thread managed by the Go runtime. It differs from OS threads as it uses a smaller initial stack (2KB) and is multiplexed onto multiple OS threads. This makes Goroutines more efficient for handling concurrency.

82. How does the Go scheduler work?

The Go scheduler uses a work-stealing algorithm with M:N scheduling, where M represents OS threads and N represents Goroutines. It schedules Goroutines across available OS threads and CPUs, aiming to balance workload for optimal performance.

83. What is a memory leak, and how do you prevent it in Go?

A memory leak occurs when allocated memory is not released. In Go, it can happen if Goroutines are not terminated or references to objects are kept unnecessarily. Use defer for cleanup and proper cancellation of Goroutines to prevent leaks.

84. How does garbage collection work in Go?

Go uses a concurrent, mark-and-sweep garbage collector. It identifies reachable objects during the mark phase and collects the unreachable ones during the sweep phase, allowing other Goroutines to continue running during collection.

85. Explain differences between sync.Mutex and sync.RWMutex.

  • sync.Mutex is used to provide exclusive access to a shared resource.
  • sync.RWMutex allows multiple readers or one writer at a time, providing better performance for read-heavy workloads.

86. What are race conditions, and how do you detect them in Go?

Race conditions occur when multiple Goroutines access a shared variable concurrently without proper synchronization. Use go run -race to detect race conditions in Go programs.

87. What is a struct tag, and how is it used?

Struct tags provide metadata for struct fields, often used for JSON serialization:

type User struct {
    Name string `json:"name"`
    Age  int    `json:"age"`
}
Copy after login

88. How do you create a custom error in Go?

Create a custom error by implementing the error interface:

type MyError struct {
    Msg string
}
func (e *MyError) Error() string {
    return e.Msg
}
Copy after login

89. What is a nil pointer dereference, and how do you avoid it?

A nil pointer dereference occurs when you attempt to access the value a nil pointer points to. Avoid this by checking for nil before using pointers.

90. Explain the difference between sync.Pool and garbage collection.

sync.Pool is used for reusing objects and reducing GC pressure. It provides a way to cache reusable objects, unlike the GC which automatically frees unused memory.

91. How do you implement a worker pool in Go?

Use channels to distribute tasks and manage worker Goroutines:

jobs := make(chan int, 100)
for w := 1; w <= 3; w++ {
    go worker(w, jobs)
}
Copy after login

92. What is reflect in Go?

The reflect package allows runtime inspection of types and values. It is used for dynamic operations like inspecting struct fields or methods.

93. What is the difference between buffered and unbuffered channels?

  • A buffered channel has a capacity, allowing Goroutines to send data without blocking until the buffer is full.
  • An unbuffered channel has no capacity and blocks until the receiver is ready.

94. How do you avoid Goroutine leaks?

Ensure Goroutines are terminated using context for cancellation or using timeouts with channels.

95. What are the key differences between panic and error?

  • error is used for handling expected conditions and can be returned.
  • panic is used for unexpected conditions and stops the normal flow of execution.

96. Explain the io.Reader and io.Writer interfaces.

io.Reader has a Read method for reading data, while io.Writer has a Write method for writing data. They form the basis of Go's I/O abstractions.

97. What is a nil value interface, and why is it problematic?

A nil value interface is an interface with a nil underlying value. It can cause unexpected behavior when check nil, as an interface with a nil underlying value is not equal to nil.

type MyInterface interface{}
var i MyInterface
var m map[string]int
i = m // This case, m is nil but i not nil
Copy after login

To handle above case, we could use interface assertion as following

    if v, ok := i.(map[string]int); ok && v != nil {
        fmt.Printf("value not nil: %v\n", v)
    }
Copy after login

98. How do you prevent deadlocks in concurrent Go programs?

To prevent deadlocks, ensure that:

  • Locks are always acquired in the same order across all Goroutines.
  • Use defer to release locks.
  • Avoid holding a lock while calling another function that might acquire the same lock.
  • Limit the use of channels within locked sections.

99. How do you optimize the performance of JSON encoding/decoding in Go?

  • Use jsoniter or easyjson libraries for faster encoding/decoding than the standard encoding/json.
  • Predefine struct fields using json:"field_name" tags to avoid reflection costs.
  • Use sync.Pool to reuse json.Encoder or json.Decoder instances when encoding/decoding large JSON data repeatedly.

100. What is the difference between GOMAXPROCS and runtime.Gosched()?

  • GOMAXPROCS controls the maximum number of OS threads that can execute Goroutines concurrently. It allows adjusting the parallelism level.
  • runtime.Gosched() yields the processor, allowing other Goroutines to run. It does not suspend the current Goroutine but instead gives a chance for the Go scheduler to run other Goroutines.
