What are buffered channels in Go?

Can you explain what buffered channels are in Go?

Buffered channels in Go are channels that have a capacity to hold a certain number of values before blocking.

How do they differ from unbuffered channels?

Unbuffered channels require both sender and receiver to be ready at the same time, while buffered channels allow sending without immediate receiving.

Can you give me an example of how to use a buffered channel?

Sure! You can create a buffered channel using make(chan Type, capacity). For example: ch := make(chan int, 2).

What happens if the buffer is full?

If the buffer is full, any send operation will block until there is space available in the channel.
