Go — Arrays (basics)

In GO an array is a sequence of elements defined by a specific length. This is unlike other high-level programming languages like JavaScript, Python, and many more.

In GO arrays are always the same length, as they are defined. Here is an example of a initialization of an array of length 5 containing all zeroes, in GO:

We can then access or set new values for each of the “spots” in the array:

The previously mentioned length of an array can also be found by the function: “len”:

When initializing a new array, we can also put in the values we want on each place in the array, called initalization and declaration:

More often that not you will usually see “slices” in GO, than arrays.
For Slices see my next article, which will describe the differences between arrays and slices in GO.
