Problem Description:

You are tasked with creating a Go application that manages a simple employee database or in-memory store. Additionally, you need to implement a RESTful API with pagination for listing employee records.

Requirements:

1. Employee Struct:

• Define a struct named Employee with the following fields:

• ID (int): Unique identifier for the employee.

• Name (string): Name of the employee.

• Position (string): Position/title of the employee.

• Salary (float64): Salary of the employee.

2. CRUD Operations:

• Implement functions/methods to perform CRUD operations on the employee database or in-memory store:

• CreateEmployee: Adds a new employee to the database or store.

• GetEmployeeByID: Retrieves an employee from the database or store by ID.

• UpdateEmployee: Updates the details of an existing employee.

• DeleteEmployee: Deletes an employee from the database or store by ID.

3. Concurrency:

• Ensure that the application is safe for concurrent use by using appropriate synchronization mechanisms.

4. Testing:

• Write unit tests to cover the CRUD operations and ensure the correctness of the implementation.

5. RESTful API with Pagination:

• Implement a RESTful API for listing employee records with pagination.

• The API should provide endpoints for listing employees with support for pagination.

• Each page should contain a configurable number of records.

• Implement proper error handling and response formatting for the API endpoints
