What are the best practices for using a Go channel?

When using Go channels, it's important to ensure proper synchronization, avoid deadlocks, and use buffered channels wisely.

Can you explain how to avoid deadlocks?

To avoid deadlocks, ensure that all goroutines can complete their work without waiting indefinitely for a channel operation.

What about using buffered channels?

Buffered channels can help improve performance by allowing goroutines to send messages without blocking, but be cautious of buffer size.

Are there any common mistakes to avoid?

Yes, common mistakes include closing channels too early, not handling errors, and using unbuffered channels inappropriately.
