The Problem

You don’t know how to concatenate two slices in Go.

The Solution

In Go, the append() function can be used to concatenate two slices by appending one to the other.

The following example demonstrates how append() is used to merge two integer slices into one:

Click to Copy
package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    slice1 := []int{1, 2, 3}
    slice2 := []int{4, 5, 6}

    // Concatenate slices
    concatenated := append(slice1, slice2...)

    fmt.Println("Concatenated Slice:", concatenated)
}

This returns the following output:

Click to Copy
Concatenated Slice: [1 2 3 4 5 6]

Note: The ... operator is used to unpack the elements of the second slice when passing it to the append() function.

Slices are a fundamental data type in Go. Combining slices in this way allows you to create a new slice that contains the elements of both input slices. This approach works for slices of any data type, not just integers. Simply change the string types (for example, from []int to []string or []byte).
