Benchmarking Fib with Go

Wed, 22 Aug 2018 00:00:00 +0000

Go has a really nice testing suite built into its compiler tool chains. It’s as simple as running go test in your package, and all files marked *_tests.go will be executed. We can also run benchmarks during testing, by adding the -bench flag to the go test command. I never really benchmarked anything before, so I decided to explore Go’s benchmarking utilities, and flex some of my algorithm skills in the process. Naturally I decided implement the Fibonacci sequence many, many times over.
