Can the capacity of a Map collection be expanded after its creation?

Answer from AI
In Go, the map collection automatically expands dynamically when new elements are added, so there is no need or possibility to explicitly change its capacity after creation.
When creating a map, you can specify the initial capacity using the make function, for example:
m := make(map[string]int, 10) // initial capacity of 10
But if the number of elements exceeds this capacity, Go will automatically increase the internal structures to store the data.
Thus, the capacity of a map expands automatically, and the programmer does not need to manage this manually.
