Channel Buffering

By default, channels in Golang are unbuffered, meaning that they only accept sends if there is a corresponding receive ready to receive the sent value. However, buffered channels accept a limited number of values without a corresponding receiver for those values. In this challenge, you are required to create a buffered channel and send values into the channel without a corresponding concurrent receive.

Requirements

  • Basic knowledge of Golang channels
  • Understanding of buffered channels

Example

$ go run channel-buffering.go
buffered
channel

Summary

In this challenge, you have learned how to create a buffered channel in Golang and send values into the channel without a corresponding concurrent receive. This is useful in scenarios where you want to send values to a channel without blocking the sender.
