About the Test

The Go test evaluates understanding of the Go programming language as well as the ability to use built-in functions to construct strong and maintainable code.

Go, also known as Golang, is a programming language developed by Google that is designed for building scalable, concurrent, and efficient software. It is known for its simplicity, speed, and ability to handle large-scale systems, and is used by many organizations for building web servers, cloud infrastructure, and other types of software.

Go has a simple and easy-to-learn syntax, and includes built-in support for concurrent programming and garbage collection. It also has a strong focus on performance, and is designed to be fast and efficient, particularly when it comes to handling large-scale systems. Go has a large standard library and supports cross-compilation, allowing you to build code for different platforms from a single machine.

Working with function

Functions are blocks of code that can be defined and called by name in a Go program. Functions can take input arguments and return values, and can be used to organize and reuse code.

Error Handling

In Go, errors are represented by a special type called “error,” which is a interface that allows you to represent and handle errors in your code. Go provides several ways to handle errors, including the built-in “error” type, the “panic” and “recover” functions, and the use of return values to indicate errors.

Control statement

Control statements are used to control the flow of execution in a Go program. Go has several control statements, including “if” and “else” for branching, “for” for loops, “switch” for multiple branches, and “goto” for unconditional jumps.

Goroutine

Goroutines are a way to create concurrent tasks in Go. They are lightweight threads of execution that can be created and managed using the “go” keyword. Goroutines are used to allow multiple tasks to be run concurrently and are a key feature of Go’s support for concurrent programming.

Code

In the context of programming, code refers to the instructions and statements that are written in a programming language, such as Go. Code is used to specify the logic and behavior of a program, and is typically written in a text editor or integrated development environment (IDE).

The test is created by a subject-matter expert

Testlify’s skill tests are designed by experienced SMEs (subject matter experts). We evaluate these experts based on specific metrics such as expertise, capability, and their market reputation. Prior to being published, each skill test is peer-reviewed by other experts and then calibrated based on insights derived from a significant number of test-takers who are well-versed in that skill area. Our inherent feedback systems and built-in algorithms enable our SMEs to refine our tests continually.
