Sorting in Go(Golang) made easy

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?

[Mathias Jiya]

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
