The capacity refers to the size of the underlying array, and the maximum possible length of a slice. The length of a slice refers to its current length which can be resized.

Slices are created using the make() function. The make() function will create a slice of a certain type with a certain length and capacity. The make() function can be used two ways when creating a slice. With only two parameters, the length and capacity are the same. With three parameters, you can specify a maximum capacity larger than the length. Here are two of the make() function declarations: ...
