Unlike
other languages, Array are passed by value in Go.
For
example, if you call updateCountries method by passing an array as argument,
the changes done for the array ‘countries’ inside the method ‘updateCountries’
is not reflected outside.
func
updateCountries(countries [5]string) {
countries[0] = "Dummy"
countries[1] = "Dummy"
countries[2] = "Dummy"
countries[3] = "Dummy"
countries[4] = "Dummy"
}
App.go
package main import "fmt" func main() { countries := [5]string{} countries[0] = "India" countries[1] = "Bangladesh" countries[2] = "Canada" countries[3] = "Austria" countries[4] = "Germany" fmt.Println(countries) fmt.Println("\nUpdating countries with Dummy data") updateCountries(countries) fmt.Println() fmt.Println(countries) } func updateCountries(countries [5]string) { countries[0] = "Dummy" countries[1] = "Dummy" countries[2] = "Dummy" countries[3] = "Dummy" countries[4] = "Dummy" }
Output
[India
Bangladesh Canada Austria Germany]
Updating
countries with Dummy data
[India
Bangladesh Canada Austria Germany]
