What is the point in setting a slice's capacity?
问题 In Golang, we can use the builtin make() function to create a slice with a given initial length and capacity. Consider the following lines, the slice's length is set to 1, and its capacity 3: func main() { var slice = make([]int, 1, 3) slice[0] = 1 slice = append(slice, 6, 0, 2, 4, 3, 1) fmt.Println(slice) } I was surprised to see that this program prints: [1 6 0 2 4 3 1] This got me wondering- what is the point of initially defining a slice's capacity if append() can simply blow past it?
