To solve this problem, we need to write a function that finds the maximum value in a slice of integers while handling edge cases such as empty slices appropriately.
The approach to find the maximum value in a slice involves the following steps:
nil error (indicating success).package main
import (
"errors"
"fmt"
)
// Max finds the maximum value in a slice of integers.
// Returns an error if the slice is empty.
func Max(slice []int) (int, error) {
if len(slice) == 0 {
return 0, errors.New("slice is empty")
}
max := slice[0]
for _, num := range slice[1:] {
if num > max {
max = num
}
}
return max, nil
}
func main() {
// Test cases to verify the function
testCases := [][]int{
{3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2, 6}, // Positive numbers
{-5, -3, -10}, // Negative numbers
{7}, // Single element
{}, // Empty slice
{2, 2, 2}, // All elements the same
}
for _, tc := range testCases {
maxVal, err := Max(tc)
if err != nil {
fmt.Printf("Test case %v: Error: %v\n", tc, err)
} else {
fmt.Printf("Test case %v: Max value = %d\n", tc, maxVal)
}
}
}
slice is empty) and a default value of 0.main function includes test cases for various scenarios (positive numbers, negative numbers, single element, empty slice, all elements same) to validate the function's correctness.When you run the code, the output will be:
Test case [3 1 4 1 5 9 2 6]: Max value = 9
Test case [-5 -3 -10]: Max value = -3
Test case [7]: Max value =7
Test case []: Error: slice is empty
Test case [2 2 2]: Max value =2
This confirms that the function handles all edge cases correctly and efficiently. The time complexity of this function is O(n) where n is the length of the slice, as it processes each element exactly once. The space complexity is O(1) since it uses a fixed amount of additional space.
