Array Initialization

Setting values at creation

You can initialize an array with values using a literal:

numbers := [5]int{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
names := [3]string{"Alice", "Bob", "Carol"}

Let Go count the elements for you with ...:

numbers := [...]int{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}  // size is 5

The compiler counts the elements and sets the array size. This prevents mismatches between the size and the number of values.
