Challenge 1 submission
challenge-1/submissions/zylbeyondlimits/solution-template.go
New file: adds func Sum(a int, b int) int and main that parses two comma-separated integers from stdin, handles scan/parse errors, calls Sum, and prints the result.
Challenge 2 submission
challenge-2/submissions/zylbeyondlimits/solution-template.go
New file: adds func ReverseString(s string) string (reverses runes with two-pointer swaps) and main that reads first stdin line and prints reversed string.
Challenge 3 submission
challenge-3/submissions/zylbeyondlimits/solution-template.go
New file: adds type Employee, type Manager with Employees []Employee, and (*Manager) methods AddEmployee, RemoveEmployee, GetAverageSalary, FindEmployeeByID; includes demo main.
Challenge 6 submission
challenge-6/submissions/zylbeyondlimits/solution-template.go
New file: adds func CountWordFrequency(text string) map[string]int (removes apostrophes, extracts alphanumeric tokens via regex, lowercases tokens, accumulates counts).
Challenge 18 submission

challenge-22/submissions/zylbeyondlimits/solution-template.go
New file: adds greedy coin-change functions MinCoins(amount int, denominations []int) int and CoinCombination(amount int, denominations []int) map[int]int; includes demo using denominations and test amounts.
Gin challenge — basic routing
packages/gin/challenge-1-basic-routing/submissions/zylbeyondlimits/solution.go
New file: Gin REST API with in-memory User store and Response type; handlers: getAllUsers, getUserByID, createUser, updateUser, deleteUser, searchUsers; helpers findUserByID, validateUser; basic validation and JSON responses.

Estimated code review effort

🎯 4 (Complex) | ⏱️ ~45 minutes

  • Heterogeneous additions across many challenges plus an HTTP server increase review surface.
  • Pay attention to:
    • packages/gin: input binding, validation, path param parsing, concurrency/safety of in-memory slice, response codes/messages.
    • Challenge-1: parsing of comma-separated ints and error messages.
    • Challenge-2: rune handling for multibyte characters.
    • Challenge-3: slice splicing in RemoveEmployee and pointer validity from FindEmployeeByID.
    • Challenge-6: regex tokenization, apostrophe removal edge cases.
    • Challenge-18: rounding correctness and float arithmetic.
    • Challenge-21/22: correctness of binary search bounds and greedy coin-change failing cases.

10-10: Consider more flexible input parsing.

The format string "%d, %d" requires an exact match with comma and space. If users input "1,2" or "1 2", parsing will fail. For a more robust solution, you might consider using bufio.Scanner with strings.Split to handle various formats.

🔎 Alternative approach for flexible parsing
 import (
+	"bufio"
 	"fmt"
+	"os"
+	"strconv"
+	"strings"
 )

 func main() {
-	var a, b int
-	// Read two integers from standard input
-	_, err := fmt.Scanf("%d, %d", &a, &b)
+	scanner := bufio.NewScanner(os.Stdin)
+	scanner.Scan()
+	parts := strings.Split(scanner.Text(), ",")
 	if err != nil {
-		fmt.Println("Error reading input:", err)
+		fmt.Println("Error reading input:", scanner.Err())
 		return
 	}
+	if len(parts) != 2 {
+		fmt.Println("Expected two comma-separated integers")
+		return
+	}
+	a, err := strconv.Atoi(strings.TrimSpace(parts[0]))
+	if err != nil {
+		fmt.Println("Error parsing first integer:", err)
+		return
+	}
+	b, err := strconv.Atoi(strings.TrimSpace(parts[1]))
+	if err != nil {
+		fmt.Println("Error parsing second integer:", err)
+		return
+	}

 	// Call the Sum function and print the result
 	result := Sum(a, b)
 	fmt.Println(result)
 }

9-21: LGTM! Main function correctly implements the challenge flow.

The input reading, function call, and output logic are all correct. The program cleanly handles the standard case where input is available.

Optional: Consider adding error handling for robustness

If you want to handle I/O errors explicitly, you could add an error check:

 func main() {
 	// Read input from standard input
 	scanner := bufio.NewScanner(os.Stdin)
 	if scanner.Scan() {
 		input := scanner.Text()
 
 		// Call the ReverseString function
 		output := ReverseString(input)
 
 		// Print the result
 		fmt.Println(output)
 	}
+	if err := scanner.Err(); err != nil {
+		fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Error reading input: %v\n", err)
+	}
 }

23-32: Excellent algorithm! The rune-based reversal correctly handles Unicode characters.

The two-pointer swap approach is efficient and the use of runes ensures proper handling of multi-byte UTF-8 characters.

Consider translating inline comments to English for broader accessibility.

The comments on lines 26 and 28 are in Chinese, which may limit readability for international contributors.

Suggested translation
 func ReverseString(s string) string {
     runes := []rune(s)
-    // 只需要循环到长度的一半
+    // Only need to loop to half the length
     for i, j := 0, len(runes)-1; i < j; i, j = i+1, j-1 {
-        // Go 独有的简便交换写法
+        // Go's convenient tuple swap syntax
         runes[i], runes[j] = runes[j], runes[i]
     }
     return string(runes)

16-20: Remove TODO comment and consider duplicate ID validation.

The method is fully implemented, so the TODO comment on line 18 should be removed. Additionally, consider validating that an employee with the same ID doesn't already exist before adding.

🔎 Proposed improvements
 // AddEmployee adds a new employee to the manager's list.
 func (m *Manager) AddEmployee(e Employee) {
-	// TODO: Implement this method
+	// Check for duplicate ID (optional enhancement)
+	for _, existing := range m.Employees {
+		if existing.ID == e.ID {
+			return // or handle error
+		}
+	}
 	m.Employees = append(m.Employees, e)
 }

22-31: Consider using English for code comments.

The method implementation is correct, but the Chinese comments on lines 22 and 26 may reduce maintainability for contributors who don't read Chinese. Consider translating them to English for broader accessibility.

🔎 Suggested translation
-// RemoveEmployee 推荐做法:原地删除
+// RemoveEmployee removes an employee by ID using in-place deletion
 func (m *Manager) RemoveEmployee(id int) {
     for i, e := range m.Employees {
         if e.ID == id {
-            // 使用切片拼接实现原地删除,无需申请 newEmployees 内存
+            // Use slice reslicing for in-place deletion without allocating new memory
             m.Employees = append(m.Employees[:i], m.Employees[i+1:]...)
-            return // 找到并删除后直接返回
+            return // Return immediately after deletion
         }
     }
 }

33-44: Remove TODO and consider conventional range syntax.

The method is correctly implemented. Two minor style points:

  • Line 35: Remove the TODO comment since the method is complete.
  • Line 40: The parentheses around m.Employees in the range clause are valid but unconventional. Standard Go style omits them.
🔎 Proposed style improvements
 // GetAverageSalary calculates the average salary of all employees.
 func (m *Manager) GetAverageSalary() float64 {
-	// TODO: Implement this method
 	if len(m.Employees) == 0 {
 	    return 0
 	}
 	sum := 0.0
-	for _, employee := range(m.Employees) {
+	for _, employee := range m.Employees {
 	    sum = sum + employee.Salary
 	}
 	return sum / float64(len(m.Employees))
 }

46-54: Translate comment to English for consistency.

The implementation is excellent and correctly returns a pointer to the slice element to avoid copying. However, the Chinese comment on line 46 should be translated to English for better maintainability.

🔎 Suggested translation
-// FindEmployeeByID 返回真实的内存地址
+// FindEmployeeByID returns a pointer to the employee with the given ID, or nil if not found
 func (m *Manager) FindEmployeeByID(id int) *Employee {
     for i := range m.Employees {
         if m.Employees[i].ID == id {
-            return &m.Employees[i] // 返回切片中元素的真实地址
+            return &m.Employees[i] // Return address of the actual slice element
         }
     }
     return nil
 }

9-11: Use English comments and verify apostrophe handling requirements.

The comments are in Chinese, which reduces maintainability in an English-language open-source repository. Consider translating them to English for better collaboration.

Additionally, removing all apostrophes transforms words like "it's" → "its" and "don't" → "dont", which may change their semantic meaning. Please verify that this approach aligns with the challenge requirements.

🔎 Suggested English translation
-	// 1. 特殊处理:去掉撇号('),将 "Let's" 变成 "Lets"
-	//    必须在正则拆分前完成这一步,否则 "Let's" 会被拆成 "Let" 和 "s"
+	// 1. Special handling: Remove apostrophes (') to convert "Let's" to "Lets"
+	//    This must be done before regex splitting, otherwise "Let's" would be split into "Let" and "s"
 	cleanedText := strings.ReplaceAll(text, "'", "")

13-18: Translate comments to English and verify Unicode requirements.

The comments are in Chinese, which should be translated to English for consistency and maintainability.

The regex pattern [a-zA-Z0-9]+ only matches ASCII alphanumeric characters. This excludes words with accented characters (e.g., "café", "naïve") or non-Latin scripts. Please verify whether the challenge requires ASCII-only word matching or should handle international text.

🔎 Suggested English translation
-	// 2. 正则查找:只匹配连续的字母或数字
-	//    这一步隐式地解决了分隔符问题:
-	//    - "new-lines" 中的 "-" 不匹配,所以会被拆分为 "new" 和 "lines"
-	//    - "dog." 中的 "." 不匹配,所以被丢弃
+	// 2. Regex matching: Only match consecutive letters or numbers
+	//    This step implicitly handles separators:
+	//    - The "-" in "new-lines" doesn't match, so it splits into "new" and "lines"
+	//    - The "." in "dog." doesn't match, so it's discarded
 	re := regexp.MustCompile(`[a-zA-Z0-9]+`)
 	words := re.FindAllString(cleanedText, -1)

20-24: Good use of map pre-allocation; translate comment to English.

The pre-allocation of the map with a capacity hint is a good performance optimization. The logic for converting words to lowercase and counting frequencies is correct.

However, the comment on line 22 is in Chinese and should be translated to English for consistency.

🔎 Suggested English translation
 	wordMap := make(map[string]int, len(words))
 	for _, word := range words {
-		// 3. 转小写并统计
+		// 3. Convert to lowercase and count
 		wordMap[strings.ToLower(word)]++
 	}

7-24: Consider adding edge case tests.

The main function demonstrates the basic functionality well, but adding tests for edge cases would make the solution more robust and comprehensive. Consider testing:

  • Target not found in array (e.g., target = 20)
  • Empty array
  • Single-element array
  • Target at array boundaries (first/last element)
🔎 Example expanded test cases
 func main() {
 	// Example sorted array for testing
 	arr := []int{1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19}
 
 	// Test binary search
 	target := 7
 	index := BinarySearch(arr, target)
 	fmt.Printf("BinarySearch: %d found at index %d\n", target, index)
 
 	// Test recursive binary search
 	recursiveIndex := BinarySearchRecursive(arr, target, 0, len(arr)-1)
 	fmt.Printf("BinarySearchRecursive: %d found at index %d\n", target, recursiveIndex)
 
 	// Test find insert position
 	insertTarget := 8
 	insertPos := FindInsertPosition(arr, insertTarget)
 	fmt.Printf("FindInsertPosition: %d should be inserted at index %d\n", insertTarget, insertPos)
+
+	// Test target not found

28-46: Well-implemented iterative binary search!

The implementation is clean and correct. The overflow-safe mid calculation (mid := left + (right-left)/2) is particularly noteworthy, as it prevents potential integer overflow issues that could occur with the naive (left + right) / 2 approach.


48-69: Solid recursive implementation.

The recursive binary search is correctly implemented with proper base case handling and overflow-safe mid calculation. The logic is clean and easy to follow.


71-92: Correct insertion position logic.

The implementation correctly identifies where to insert a target value to maintain sorted order. The overflow-safe mid calculation is consistently applied.

The behavior when the target already exists (returning its current position) is documented in the comment, which is a valid design choice for this use case.

29-31: Remove commented-out test code.

Commented-out code adds clutter and is better tracked through version control.

-	// fmt.Printf("Test Unmatchable (3 with [2,5]): %d\n", unmatchableCoins)

36-63: Add input validation for edge cases.

The function doesn't validate inputs, which could lead to panics or incorrect results for edge cases such as negative amounts, empty or nil denomination slices, or zero amounts.

🔎 Proposed input validation

 	count := 0
 	remaining := amount

40-42: Document or validate the sorted denominations assumption.

The algorithm assumes denominations is sorted in ascending order (line 9 comment references this requirement). If unsorted denominations are passed, the greedy approach will fail. Consider either validating the sort order or prominently documenting this precondition in the function godoc.

🔎 Option 1: Add validation
 func MinCoins(amount int, denominations []int) int {
+	// Validate denominations are sorted
+	for i := 1; i < len(denominations); i++ {
+		if denominations[i] < denominations[i-1] {
+			return -1 // or panic with descriptive error
+		}
+	}

-// MinCoins returns the minimum number of coins needed to make the given amount.
-// If the amount cannot be made with the given denominations, return -1.
+// MinCoins returns the minimum number of coins needed to make the given amount

1-27: Good basic structure with standard types.

The User struct correctly uses Gin's binding tags for validation, and the Response struct provides a standardized API response format.


50-57: LGTM with mutex protection pending.

The handler correctly returns all users. Once the concurrency fix is applied (protecting the users slice with a mutex), this will be safe.


170-199: Good search implementation with proper validation.

The function correctly validates the required query parameter and implements case-insensitive substring matching. The Chinese comments should be translated (covered in previous comment).


59-80: Inconsistent error details in ID parsing responses across handlers.

Line 63 includes err.Error() when ID parsing fails (good practice), but you should verify that lines 111 and 150 in updateUser and deleteUser handlers follow the same pattern for consistency. If they omit error details, align all handlers to either include or exclude error information uniformly.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Greedy algorithm doesn't guarantee optimal solution for arbitrary denominations.

The greedy approach (largest coin first) works for US coin denominations but fails for arbitrary denomination sets. For example, with denominations [1, 3, 4] and amount 6, greedy produces 3 coins [4, 1, 1], but the optimal solution is 2 coins [3, 3].

If the challenge accepts arbitrary denominations, consider implementing dynamic programming for correctness.

💡 Dynamic programming approach (if arbitrary denominations are supported)
func MinCoins(amount int, denominations []int) int {
	if amount == 0 {
		return 0
	}
	if len(denominations) == 0 {
		return -1
	}
	
	// dp[i] represents minimum coins needed for amount i
	dp := make([]int, amount+1)
	for i := 1; i <= amount; i++ {
		dp[i] = amount + 1 // Initialize with impossible value
	}
	dp[0] = 0
	
	for i := 1; i <= amount; i++ {
		for _, coin := range denominations {
			if coin <= i {
				dp[i] = min(dp[i], dp[i-coin]+1)
			}

handle amount==0 and empty denominations early, allocate dp slice of size
amount+1 with dp[0]=0 and dp[i]=amount+1 for i>0, iterate i from 1..amount and
for each coin in denominations if coin<=i set dp[i]=min(dp[i], dp[i-coin]+1),
and finally return -1 if dp[amount]>amount else dp[amount]; remove the greedy
logic and ensure a small helper min function or inline comparison is used.

to 93, CoinCombination duplicates the greedy coin-selection logic used in
MinCoins; refactor by extracting the shared greedy algorithm into a single
helper (e.g., computeGreedyCombination(amount, denominations) (map[int]int, int)
or similar) that returns the coin counts and leftover, then call that helper
from both CoinCombination and MinCoins, keeping identical behavior (return empty
map when leftover != 0) and preserving input/output semantics.

Critical: Route registration order breaks /users/search endpoint.

Line 45 registers /users/search after /users/:id (line 41). Gin matches routes in order, so all requests to /users/search will be handled by getUserByID, treating "search" as an ID parameter. The search endpoint will never be reached.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 Critical

Critical: Returning pointer to slice element is unsafe.

Line 205 returns &users[i], a pointer to an element in a slice. When the slice is modified by append (in createUser) or slice operations (in deleteUser), the underlying array may be reallocated, making all existing pointers invalid. This leads to use-after-free bugs and potential crashes.

🔎 Proposed fix: return by value or copy

Option 1: Return by value (recommended for this use case)

-func findUserByID(id int) (*User, int) {
+func findUserByID(id int) (User, int, bool) {
 	for i := 0; i < len(users); i++ {
 		if users[i].ID == id {
-			return &users[i], i
+			return users[i], i, true
 		}
 	}
-	return nil, -1
+	return User{}, -1, false
 }

Then update callers to check the bool instead of nil:

-	user, _ := findUserByID(userID)
-	if user == nil {
+	user, _, found := findUserByID(userID)
+	if !found {
 		c.JSON(http.StatusNotFound, Response{Success: false, Message: "User not found", Code: 404})
 		return
 	}
 
 	c.JSON(http.StatusOK, Response{
 		Success: true,
-		Data:    user,
+		Data:    &user,
 		Message: "User found successfully",
 		Code:    200,
 	})

Option 2: Use index-only lookups
Refactor to only return the index, and access users[index] at the call site while holding appropriate locks.

index (int) and let callers access users[index] locally; then update all call
sites to stop checking for nil pointers and instead check the returned ok/index
and work with a value or direct indexed access to avoid holding pointers to the
slice backing array.

Major: Email validation is too simplistic.

Line 220 only checks if the email contains "@", which accepts invalid formats like "@", "test@", "@domain.com", or "user@@example". This allows invalid data into the system.
