go_assessment | A port of Rebecca Murphey 's js-assessment for Go

go_assessment is a Go library. go_assessment has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

This is a tool for assessing or practicing beginner level programming in Golang. It is inspired by Rebecca Murphey's js-assessment. A while back I tried out Murphey's js-assessment and found it to be a valuable tool for refreshing my javascript capability when I had not written any JavaScript for a few months. I figured a similar tool for Go might be useful for the same reason. This tool leads the user through a series of Go implementation exercises from easy to medium. It's not meant to be a leetcode challenge. The point is to exercise your skill with some basic syntax and semantics of Go. Most of the tests and implementations are straightforward. A few are harder, require a bit of algorithm knowledge or the ability to look up a solution. If you have gone through the official golang tutorial you will know enough to make most of the tests pass. For the rest go ahead and look up a solution if you need to. Feel free to use go standard libraries. No need to reinvent the wheel. This tool relies on Test Driven Development using the native Go test framework. The ./app directory contains a set of test files (app/topic_test.go) and a corresponding app skeleton file (app/topic.go) with the required function definitions but missing the implementations. Treat the topic_test.go files as the specifications for the function skeletons. The goal is to provide the implementations in the skeleton files to pass the tests. If the tests are not passing, dig into the topic_test.go files to figure out what the requirement is, then fix the skeleton file so the tests pass. You are done when all tests pass. You should not have to modify anything in the topic_test.go files, only the topic.go skeleton files (unless the tests have a bug in which case feel free to report it). The tests are ordered (more or less) by increasing difficulty. The topics covered include.
