Note: that golang's map are not entirely thread safe. Multiple readers are fine, but multiple writers are not.

Test your solution

Use the following command to test for race conditions and correct functionality:

go test -race

Correct solution: No output = solution correct:

$ go test -race

Incorrect solution:
