Milline on vahe kaardi ja lõigu kasutamisel Go keeles ning millistel juhtudel on eelistatav kasutada kumbagi neist?

In Go, map and slice serve different purposes:

• map — associative array, a structure for storing key-value pairs with quick access via the key. Keys are unique.
• slice — dynamic array, an ordered collection of elements, accessed by index.

When to use:

• Use map if you need to quickly find elements by a unique key, for example, storing users by ID.
• Use slice if the order of elements is important or you want to store a set of elements without keys, for example, a task list.

Example:

// map for storing student grades by name
grades := map[string]int{"Alice": 90, "Bob": 85}

// slice for storing a list of names
names := []string{"Alice", "Bob", "Charlie"}

The choice depends on the task: for key-based lookup — map, for ordered list — slice.
