Solution: Perform a Concurrent Read-Write Operation on a Map

Explore how to implement concurrent read and write operations on a Go map using synchronization with mutexes. Understand how to lock and unlock critical sections to prevent race conditions and learn best practices for managing shared data safely in concurrent applications.

Problem breakdown

Let’s walk through the problem step by step and write the code that performs the concurrent read and write operations on the map using mutexes only.

Create two functions read and write, both of which take two parameters of type map and sync.Mutex. The methods will look like this:

The methods will look like: ...
