Go Slice Data Type

Introduction

The Slices challenge is designed to test your knowledge of the slice data type in Go. Slices are a more powerful interface to sequences than arrays, and this challenge will help you understand how to use them.

Slices

The problem to be solved in this challenge is to create and manipulate slices in Go. You will need to create an empty slice with non-zero length, set and get values in the slice, use the len function to get the length of the slice, use the append function to add new values to the slice, use the copy function to copy a slice, and use the slice operator to get a slice of elements from an existing slice.

Requirements

To complete this challenge, you will need to have a basic understanding of Go syntax and the slice data type. You will also need to be familiar with the make, append, and copy functions, as well as the slice operator.

Example

## Note that while slices are different types than arrays,
## they are rendered similarly by `fmt.Println`.
$ go run slices.go
emp: [ ]
set: [a b c]
get: c
len: 3
apd: [a b c d e f]
cpy: [a b c d e f]
sl1: [c d e]
sl2: [a b c d e]
sl3: [c d e f]
dcl: [g h i]
2d: [[0] [1 2] [2 3 4]]

## Now that we've seen arrays and slices we'll look at
## Go's other key builtin data structure: maps.

Summary

The Slices challenge is designed to test your knowledge of the slice data type in Go. By completing this challenge, you will gain a better understanding of how to create and manipulate slices in Go, including how to set and get values in a slice, use the len function, use the append and copy functions, and use the slice operator.
