This code is in builti.go
:
// The append built-in function appends elements to the end of a slice. If
// it has sufficient capacity, the destination is resliced to accommodate the
// new elements. If it does not, a new underlying array will be allocated.
// Append returns the updated slice. It is therefore necessary to store the
// result of append, often in the variable holding the slice itself:
// slice = append(slice, elem1, elem2)
// slice = append(slice, anotherSlice...)
// As a special case, it is legal to append a string to a byte slice, like this:
// slice = append([]byte("hello "), "world"...)
func append(slice []Type, elems ...Type) []Type
The last line made me feel very confused. I do not know the meaning of ...Type
.
These are other codes:
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
s := []int{1,2,3,4,5}
s1 := s[:2]
s2 := s[2:]
s3 := append(s1, s2...)
fmt.Println(s1, s2, s3)
}
The result is
[1 2] [3 4 5] [1 2 3 4 5]
I guess the function of ...
is to pick all elements from elems
, but I haven't found an official explanation. What is it?
