Q2. Difference between array and slice in Go.
Ans. 
Arrays have fixed length, slices are dynamic and can grow/shrink. Slices are references to arrays.
• Arrays have fixed length, specified at compile time.

• Slices are dynamic, can grow or shrink at runtime.

• Slices are references to arrays, allowing for more flexibility.

• Example: var arr [3]string // array with fixed length of 3

• Example: slice := make([]string, 0) // slice with dynamic length

Q3. Explain struct and interface
Ans. 
Struct is a user-defined data type that groups related data fields together. Interface defines a set of methods that a type must implement.
• Struct is used to create complex data structures by grouping related data fields together.

• Interface defines a set of methods that a type must implement. It allows for polymorphism in Go.

Q6. Explain goroutine.
Ans. 
Goroutine is a lightweight thread managed by Go runtime, allowing concurrent execution of functions.
• Goroutines are created using the 'go' keyword in Go programming language.

• They are more lightweight than threads and are managed by the Go runtime.

• Goroutines allow for concurrent execution of functions without the need for manual thread management.

• Example: go myFunction()

• Example: go func() { // code here }

Q7. How do you achieve concurrency in Go?
Ans. 
Concurrency in Go is achieved using goroutines and channels.
• Use goroutines to run functions concurrently

• Communicate between goroutines using channels

• Avoid using shared memory for synchronization

Q8. What is channel in Go? What are the differences between buffered and unbuffered channel?
Ans. 
A channel in Go is a communication mechanism that allows goroutines to communicate with each other.
• Buffered channels have a specific capacity and can send multiple values without the need for a corresponding receive operation immediately.

• Unbuffered channels have no capacity and require both a send and receive operation to be ready at the same time for communication to occur.

Q9. What is scaling? Horizontal and vertical scaling.
Ans. 
Scaling refers to the ability of a system to handle increasing amounts of work or its potential to accommodate growth.
• Horizontal scaling involves adding more machines to distribute the load, while vertical scaling involves increasing the resources of a single machine.

• Horizontal scaling is more cost-effective and provides better fault tolerance, but can be more complex to implement.

• Vertical scaling is simpler to impleme...read more

Q2. Difference between cluster and non-cluster indexing. Do you know about database indexing?
Ans. 
Cluster indexing physically reorders the data on disk to match the index, while non-cluster indexing does not.
• Cluster indexing physically reorders the data on disk to match the index structure, leading to faster retrieval of data.

• Non-cluster indexing creates a separate data structure that points to the actual data, which may result in slower retrieval times.

• Cluster indexing is typically used in primary keys, while non-...read more

Q4. What is a stable sort?
Ans. 
A stable sort is a sorting algorithm that preserves the relative order of equal elements in the sorted output.
• Stable sorts are useful when the original order of equal elements needs to be maintained.

• Examples of stable sorting algorithms include Merge Sort, Bubble Sort, and Insertion Sort.

• In a stable sort, if two elements have the same key value, their relative order in the original array is preserved in the sorted arra

Q5. What's the time complexity of insertion in a hashmap?
Ans. 
Time complexity of insertion in a hashmap is O(1).
• Insertion in a hashmap has a constant time complexity of O(1) on average.

• This is because hashmaps use a hashing function to determine the index where the key-value pair should be stored.

• Even in the worst-case scenario, where there are collisions, the time complexity is still O(1) due to techniques like chaining or open addressing.

• Example: Inserting a key-value pair into...read more
