Slice function

Slices are passed by referring to functions. Big slices can be passed to functions without impacting performance. Passing a slice as a reference to a function is demonstrated in the code as follows (slices.go):

//twiceValue method given slice of int typefunc twiceValue(slice []int) {      var i int      var value intfor i, value = range  slice {      slice[i] = 2*value   }    }// main methodfunc main() {    var slice = []int{1,3,5,6}    twiceValue(slice)    var i int    for i=0; i< len(slice); i++ {        fmt.Println(“new slice value”, slice[i])}}

Run the following command:

go run slices.go
