Golang : Convert slice to array
For new comer to Golang, slice and array can be confusing sometimes. In a nutshell, a slice length(size) is flexible and array length(size) is not. Since they are different, many assume that by using the =
operator, a new array will be populated with the elements from a slice.
To convert a slice to array properly, use the builtin copy()
function.
For example :
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
slice := []byte("abcd1234")
var arr [8]byte
copy(arr[:], slice[:8])
fmt.Println(arr)
fmt.Println(string(arr[:])) // []byte to string
}
Sample output :
[97 98 99 100 49 50 51 52]
abcd1234
