[...]int{1,2,3}
is not a slice. It is an array of capacity 3.
See "golang-101-hacks: Array"
If you try to append a fourth element... that will be out of range.
But here s[:]
transforms it into a slice.
The actual 'index out of range
' comes from input[len(input)-i]
which, with i=0
, means input[len(input)]
: out of range.
This would work better (playground) (no out of range)
The final fmt.Println(s)
was still print the original array, not the return of rev()
(which is ignored).
This prints the "expected" result (using append, so mutating and adding to the slice):
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
s := [...]int{1, 2, 3}
t := rev(s[:])
fmt.Println(s)
fmt.Println(t)
}
func rev(input []int) []int {
var j int
l := len(input) - 1
for i := 0; i <= l; i++ {
j = input[l-i]
input = append(input, j)
}
return input
}
Result:
[1 2 3]
[1 2 3 3 2 1]
This (playground) would actually reverse the slice:
var j int
var res []int
l := len(input) - 1
for i := 0; i <= l; i++ {
j = input[l-i]
res = append(res, j)
}
return res
Result:
[1 2 3]
[3 2 1]
