I am trying to make a slice within a slice in golang, but have been unsuccessful. Here is my code snippet:
Slice1 := []string{"a","b","c"}
Slice2 := []string{"x","y","z"}
SliceOfSlices := []string{Slice1,Slice2}
http://play.golang.org/p/-ECPRTS0_X
Gives me the error : cannot use Slice1 (type []string) as type string in array or slice literal
How do I do this correctly?
Slice1 and Slice2 are of type []string, so a slice of those will be a [][]string
http://play.golang.org/p/FPS5r5qbfO
Slice1 := []string{"a", "b", "c"}
Slice2 := []string{"x", "y", "z"}
SliceOfSlices := [][]string{Slice1, Slice2}
As suggested above, you have to add a square brackets like the following example:
Slice1 := []string{"a", "b", "c"}
Slice2 := []string{"x", "y", "z"}
SliceOfSlices := [][]string{Slice1, Slice2}
If you do not know the length of SliceOfSlices, you can also use the following approach:
SliceOfSlices := make([][]string, 0)
Slice1 := []string{"a", "b", "c"}
Slice2 := []string{"x", "y", "z"}
Slice3 := []string{"w", "w", "w"}
SliceOfSlices = append(SliceOfSlices, Slice1, Slice2, Slice3)
