What arguments does the Context.WithTimeout method expect in Go?

Answer from AI

The context.WithTimeout method in Go takes two arguments:

  1. A parent context (context.Context) from which a new context with a timeout will be derived.
  2. A timeout duration (timeout time.Duration) that specifies the maximum lifetime of the new context.

The function returns the new context and a cancel function (cancelFunc), which should be called to release resources.

Example usage:

ctx, cancel := context.WithTimeout(context.Background(), 5*time.Second)
defer cancel()

// Use ctx in operations that should complete within 5 seconds
