5.1 Golang

  • Go in 100 Seconds
  • Install Go
  • Go / Golang Crash Course
  • A Tour of Go

• Practices

  • Task1: Swap 2 numbers. In this task, a user is asked to enter two numbers and the program will swap two numbers without using the third variable.

  package main
  
  import "fmt"
  
  func main() {
      var a, b int = 3, 4
  
      // fmt.Scanf("%d", &a)
      // fmt.Scanf("%d", &b)
      fmt.Printf("a = %d, b = %d\n", a, b)
      //
      // WRITE YOUR CODE HERE
      //
      fmt.Printf("a = %d, b = %d\n", a, b)
  }

  Example:

  a = 3, b = 4
  a = 4, b = 3
  

  • Task2: isOdd and isEven. Write go functions to check whether a number is even and is odd.

  package main
  
  import "fmt"
  
  func main() {
      var a, b int = 3, 4
  
      // fmt.Scanf("%d", &a)
      // fmt.Scanf("%d", &b)
      fmt.Printf("a = %d, b = %d\n", a, b)
  
      // fmt.Println(a, "is odd: ", isOdd(a))
      // fmt.Println(b, "is even: ", isEven(b))
  }
  
  // func isEven(num int) bool {
  // 	//
  // 	// WRITE YOUR CODE HERE
  // 	//
  // }
  
  // func isOdd(num int) bool {
  // 	//
  // 	// WRITE YOUR CODE HERE
  // 	//
  // }

  Example:

  a = 3, b = 4
  3 is odd:  true
  4 is even:  true
  

  • Task3: Area of a circle inscribed in a square. Find the shaded region by given R(radius of the circle).
    

  package main
  
  import (
      "fmt"
  )
  
  func main() {
      var r float32 = 10.04
  
      // fmt.Scanf("%f", &r)
      fmt.Println("R =", r)
  
      fmt.Printf("Area: %0.2f\n", area(r))
  }
  
  func area(r float32) (area float32) {
      //
      // WRITE YOUR CODE HERE
      //
      return area
  }

  Example:

  R = 10.04
  Area: 86.53
  

  1. FizzBuzz

  package main
  
  func main() {
      for i := 1; i <= 100; i++ {
          FizzBuzz()
      }
  }
  
  func FizzBuzz() {
      //
      // WRITE YOUR CODE HERE
      //
  }

  2. Find a weekday from a given date

  package main
  
  import (
      "fmt"
      "time"
  )
  
  func main() {
      dobStr := "20.04.1998" // Replace this date with your birthday
      givenDate, err := time.Parse("02.01.2006", dobStr)
      if err != nil {
          panic(err)
      }
      fmt.Printf("%s is %s", givenDate.Format("02-01-2006"), FindWeekday(givenDate))
  }
  
  func FindWeekday(date time.Time) (weekday string) {
      //
      // WRITE YOUR CODE HERE
      //
      return
  }

  3. Display numbers from 1 to 100 in reverse order using DEFER

  package main
  
  func main() {
      DisplayNumberInReverseOrderWithDefer()
  }
  
  func DisplayNumberInReverseOrderWithDefer() {
      for i := 0; i < 100; i++ {
          //
          // WRITE YOUR CODE HERE
          //
      }
  }

  4. Write a function to calculate square root. Given a positive number n and precision p, find the square root of the number up to p decimal places using binary search.

  package main
  
  import (
      "fmt"
  )
  
  func main() {
      fmt.Println(MySquareRoot(10, 12))
  }
  
  func MySquareRoot(num, precision uint) (result float64) {
      // DO NOT USE math.Sqrt!
  
      //
      // WRITE YOUR CODE HERE
      //
  
      return
  }

  5. Find the Minimum Number. Link: https://www.hackerrank.com/contests/w30/challenges/find-the-minimum-number/problem

  package main
  
  func main() {
      n := 12
      // Read n from input
      DisplayMinimumNumberFunction(n)
  }
  
  // https://www.hackerrank.com/contests/w30/challenges/find-the-minimum-number
  func DisplayMinimumNumberFunction(n int) {
      //
      // WRITE YOUR CODE HERE
      //
  }
