How is a benchmark function identified in Go?
- It must be named "BenchmarkX" where X is a name.
- It must be placed in a specific package.
- It must include assertions.
- It must be tagged with @Benchmark.
In Go, a benchmark function is identified by its name. It must be named with the prefix "Benchmark" followed by a descriptive name (e.g., BenchmarkMyFunction). The Go testing framework automatically recognizes functions with this naming convention as benchmarks when you run the go test command with the -bench flag. This naming convention makes it easy for developers to define and run benchmarks for various parts of their codebase.
