Defining Structs
In this project, we'll work with collection types such as
structs
,slices
andmaps
to build a command line application for managing a personal budget. For this module, you will be working on the file namedbudget_1.go
.By the end of this module, you’ll have defined two structs which will help us organize budget information. ### Solution To view the solution, run
git diff origin/master..module1-solution
in the Terminal, and pressEnter
to see the next lines of the difference.You may also browse the files of the solution by stashing your changes with
git stash
and runninggit checkout module1-solution
to switch branches. -
Challenge
Working with slices and maps
For this module, you will be working on the file named
budget_2.go
.By the end of this module, you’ll have defined a series of methods for our existing structs, in combination with slice and map operations, which will help us manage our budget. ### Solution To view the solution, run
git diff origin/master..module2-solution
in the Terminal, and pressEnter
to see the next lines of the difference.You may also browse the files of the solution by stashing your changes with
