Overview of the fan-in pattern
Fan-in is a term that describes the process of combining multiple results into one channel. Fan-in is a way of multiplexing in Golang that processes multiple input data and combines them into a single entity.
Let’s suppose we work in a factory where only one member does each task. This takes a lot of time. But now, let’s assume that more than one person does one of the tasks. This reduces our overall execution time. The fan-in pattern works similarly.
Now, let’s suppose we want to read multiple files and ...
