How to initialize an Array with an Array Literal in Go?

You can initialize an array with pre-defined values using an array literal. An array literal have the number of elements it will hold in square brackets, followed by the type of its elements. This is followed by a list of initial values separated by commas of each element inside the curly braces.

Example

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
	x := [5]int{10, 20, 30, 40, 50}   // Intialized with values
	var y [5]int = [5]int{10, 20, 30} // Partial assignment

	fmt.Println(x)
	fmt.Println(y)
}

Output

[10 20 30 40 50]
[10 20 30 0 0]
