title: Go Slices
|
|
---
|
|
## Go Slices
|
|
|
|
Slices are a key data type in Go, giving a more powerful interface to sequences than arrays.
|
|
|
|
Unlike arrays, slices are typed only by the elements they contain (not the number of elements). To create an empty slice with non-zero length, use the builtin make. Here we make a slice of strings of length 3 (initially zero-valued).
|
|
|
|
```s := make([]string, 3)```
