find-student

I created this program to better understand go routines and channels, so bear in mind it's somewhat primitive.

The program works as follows: you will receive a prompt to enter a student's name and last name, and this code will look for students who graduated from ITAM's most popular careers.

To run it, you need to have Go installed.

Download the repository and then execute

go get
go build main.go
./main

You should see something like this:

Do not use accents please!
Enter the first name of the student you're looking for: 
Pablo
Enter the last name of the student you're looking for: 
Alvarez

These are the names most similar to "Pablo Alvarez":

Alvarez Ortega Pablo: Graduated from Finance in 2021
Alvarez De Los Cobos Pablo: Graduated from Business Administration in 1995
Alvarez Magaña Pablo: Graduated from Business Administration in 2017
Iglesias Alvarez Pablo: Graduated from Business Administration in 1994

Potential improvements:

• Allow accents in user's input and remove them
• Handle cases where last names have more than one space
• Create a web app where user can select from a given set of careers to speed up the process

Note: You can also run the repository's unit tests with:

go test -v ./src/tests
