solution for challenge 3 #553
Conversation
WalkthroughAdds a new Go program defining Employee and Manager types, with methods to add, remove, search employees and compute average salary. The main function constructs a Manager, adds two employees, removes one by ID, prints average salary, and attempts a lookup by ID. Changes

23-33: Consider using range and removing redundant else.The logic is correct, but the code can be more idiomatic.
Apply this diff to simplify:
func (m *Manager) RemoveEmployee(id int) { var tempValue []Employee - for i := 0; i < len(m.Employees); i++ { - if m.Employees[i].ID == id { + for _, employee := range m.Employees { + if employee.ID == id { continue - } else { - tempValue = append(tempValue, m.Employees[i]) } + tempValue = append(tempValue, employee) } m.Employees = tempValue }
35-46: Consider using camelCase naming and range loops.The logic is correct, but consider these optional improvements for consistency with Go conventions.
Apply this diff:
func (m *Manager) GetAverageSalary() float64 { if len(m.Employees) == 0 { return 0 } - var averagesalary float64 - for i := 0; i < len(m.Employees); i++ { - averagesalary += m.Employees[i].Salary + var averageSalary float64 + for _, employee := range m.Employees { + averageSalary += employee.Salary } - averagesalary = averagesalary / float64(len(m.Employees)) - return averagesalary + return averageSalary / float64(len(m.Employees)) }

19-21: LGTM!The implementation correctly appends the employee to the slice.
57-68: LGTM!The main function effectively demonstrates the Manager functionality with clear examples of adding, removing, computing averages, and finding employees.

Remove or implement the GetEmployee stub.
This method is empty and has no return value. If it's not needed, remove it. Otherwise, implement the intended functionality.

Potential dangling pointer after slice modifications.
Returning a pointer to a slice element (&m.Employees[i]) becomes unsafe when RemoveEmployee is called, as it rebuilds the slice. The returned pointer may then reference invalid or incorrect data.
Option 1: Return by value instead of pointer
-func (m *Manager) FindEmployeeByID(id int) *Employee {
- for i := 0; i < len(m.Employees); i++ {
- if m.Employees[i].ID == id {
- return &m.Employees[i]
+func (m *Manager) FindEmployeeByID(id int) (Employee, bool) {
+ for _, employee := range m.Employees {
+ if employee.ID == id {
+ return employee, true
}
}
- return nil
+ return Employee{}, false
}Then update the caller in main:
- employee := manager.FindEmployeeByID(2)
- if employee != nil {
- fmt.Printf("Employee found: %+v\n", *employee)
+ employee, found := manager.FindEmployeeByID(2)
+ if found {
+ fmt.Printf("Employee found: %+v\n", employee)
}Option 2: Use a map instead of slice for O(1) lookups
This would also eliminate the pointer safety issue and improve performance.

48–55, the function returns a pointer to a slice element (&m.Employees[i]) which
can dangle after slice modifications; change the API to return the Employee by
value (and a found flag) instead of a pointer: update the function signature to
return (Employee, bool), return the matched element by value with true, and
return (Employee{}, false) when not found; then update all callers in main/tests
to handle the value + bool pattern. As an alternative (optional) refactor,
replace the slice with a map[int]Employee for O(1) lookups and safe value
returns.
