Appending to and copying slices
The variadic function
appendappends zero or more valuesxtosof
typeS, which must be a slice type, and returns the resulting slice,
also of typeS. The valuesxare passed to a parameter of type...T
whereTis the element type ofSand the respective parameter passing
rules apply.
append(s S, x ...T) S // T is the element type of SPassing arguments to
...parametersIf the final argument is assignable to a slice type
[]T, it may be
passed unchanged as the value for a...Tparameter if the argument is
followed by....
You need to use []T... for the final argument.
For your example, with the final argument slice type []byte, the argument is followed by ...,
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
one := make([]byte, 2)
two := make([]byte, 2)
one[0] = 0x00
one[1] = 0x01
two[0] = 0x02
two[1] = 0x03
fmt.Println(append(one[:], two[:]...))
three := []byte{0, 1}
four := []byte{2, 3}
five := append(three, four...)
fmt.Println(five)
}
