Go (also known as Golang) is one of the most popular languages today and is a key part of many enterprise tech stacks. Because Go's memory management architecture makes concurrency easier, many developers prefer it over traditional languages.

In this course, you will learn the core constructs and techniques of Go as well as advanced concepts of the language. In particular, you’ll learn how to program efficiently by becoming aware of the pitfalls and patterns that are commonly encountered in Go and by building your own applications.

Once you’ve completed this course, you will be able to write concurrent programs and improve the performance of existing ones, thus creating a more robust experience for everyone. Concurrency is in high demand today since it enables developers to reduce execution time of applications significantly, and Golang provides a very rich support for achieving this.

Concurrency in Go

Let’s walk through the problem statement step by step. The data race condition occurs when two or more threads race to access and modify the same data.

Here are the steps that solve the challenge:


1.  Create one function that will read the value of the data and one function that will update the value.

2. Place them inside goroutines to make both of them run concurrently.


3. Add a `time.Sleep` function at the end (line 25) to ensure that the `main` goroutine doesn’t exit.


>**Note**: The `time.Sleep` function is just a work-around. Don’t use it to make your main goroutine complete its functions. Instead, use `WaitGroup`.
