In Go, the data structure map implements an associative array, where keys are linked to values. The creation and maintenance of these links occur as follows:

  • When creating a map, a hash table is allocated, where keys are hashed for quick access.
  • For each key, a hash function is calculated that determines the index in the bucket array.
  • Pairs of key-value are stored in buckets. If a collision occurs (multiple keys with the same hash), a linked list or another structure is used to store multiple pairs.
  • When adding or updating a value by key, the map searches for the bucket by hash and updates or adds the pair.
  • When reading a value by key, a similar search is performed by hash and key comparison.

Example of using map:

m := make(map[string]int)
m["apple"] = 5
value := m["apple"] // value == 5

Thus, the links between keys and values are maintained through key hashing and storing pairs in the corresponding buckets.
