Hello there,
In today's article, I will be talking about https://github.com/iqquee/sort, a Go library I built for sorting data.
What is sort ?
sort is a Go library that sorts data(both string and int) with their number of occurrences and returns the desired data length in descending order with no duplicates of values.
Use cases range from:
- To implement a trending feature in an e-commerce platform
- To get the most ordered(purchased) products e.t.c
This library contains two methods in the x package:
SortInt()
The SortInt() sorts an array of int
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/iqquee/sort"
)
func main() {
arr := []int{2, 3, 10, 4, 1, 10, 1, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6, 1, 6, 7, 8, 12, 9, 1, 1, 1}
//pass in the array to be sorted and the desired length of data to be returned in descending order
//the lenght should be zero(0) if you want to get all the sorted data
sortedInt := sort.SortInt(arr, 3)
fmt.Printf("This is the sorted int data: %v\n", sortedInt)
}
SortString()
The SortString() sorts an array of string
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/iqquee/sort"
)
func main() {
arr := []string{"by", "me", "come", "by", "me", "hello", "hey", "hey", "me", "buy", "by", "come", "hello", "go"}
//pass in the array to be sorted and the desired length of data to be returned in descending order
//the lenght should be zero(0) if you want to get all the sorted data
sortedString := sort.SortString(arr, 3)
fmt.Printf("This is the sorted string data: %v\n", sortedString)
}

What's the difference between your functions and the standard ones?
These methods sorts and returns data alongside their number of occurrence with no duplicate values. Also you can specify the number of datas to be returned
