When you use append, two different things can happen: 1. There is enough capacity in the original slice to which you are appending to add the additional values. You get a slice that points to the same backing memory. 2. There is not enough capacity in the original slice to which you are appending. You get a slice that points to a newly allocated chunk of backing memory.
This blog talks specifically about append: https://blog.golang.org/slices Now, looking at your code: c1 := append(c, s) temp = append(temp, c1) fmt.Println(i,j,k, "- temp =", temp, " c=", c) The key thing to see here, is that s is going to be added to c, and *c* is going to end up in c1, IF there is enough room for s in c. So, sometimes c1 is pointing to the same bit of memory as c, sometimes a different bit. I think, rather than making a copy of the temp variable c1, you should be doing the same thing at the step where you create c1. In other words, something like c1 := append([]int{}, c..., s) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
