power of reflect.DeepEqual

Greetings,

reflect.DeepEqual helped a lot this days, and somebody here asked how do you compare strings by strings.Join. so I thought I might share it here.

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "reflect"
)

func main() {

    // map  
    m1 := map[string]string{"a": "b", "c": "d"}
    m2 := map[string]string{"a": "b", "c": "d"} 

    // slice
    a1 := []int{1, 2, 3}
    a2 := []int{1, 2, 3,}

    // map equality
    mapsAreEq := reflect.DeepEqual(m1, m2)
    fmt.Println(mapsAreEq)

    // slices equality
    slicesAreEq := reflect.DeepEqual(a1, a2)
    fmt.Println(slicesAreEq)    
}

reflect.DeepEqual takes an interface{} type parameter, so basically, you can pass anything on it(so be careful with it).

func DeepEqual(a1, a2 interface{}) bool

thats it!, hope it may do good for you too :D
