Hi Jake & Friends, Thank you so much for awesome response and great help. I am going through all replies in detail one by one. Actually, I am working on solving a job assignment : 8-10 C++ files need to be converted to Go. As far as the technical details of the code is concerned, seems its a little complex C++ 11 code. I feel rewriting from scratch is good way to go about it but I am very new to Go Syntax , so that is the difficult part. Hence I can not myself describe what that code is actually doing, at the moment :-) Will come back soon!
