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-solutionin the Terminal, and pressEnterto see the next lines of the difference.You may also browse the files of the solution by stashing your changes with
