solutionNew = make([]int, 0) solutionNew = append(solution, 2) Is a strange thing to do, you create a new slice using make([]int, 0) and then never use it. perhaps you wanted to use copy()? The problem you're encountering is slices can share backing arrays. Each time you append to the slice called 'solution', you're modifying the same backing array. In your code: /*You append 2 to solution creating a slice that points to the same memory as 'solution'*/ solutionNew = append(solution, 2) /* You append this slice to a slice called slice */ slice = append(slice, solutionNew) /* You append a 4 to the same slice called 'solution' which shares memory with slice you appended to your slice called 'slice' thus you override the 2 you append to 'solution' with a 4*/ solutionNew = append(solution, 4) /* You append the slice to 'slice' so now there are two slices in 'slice' that refer to the same memory and thus have the same value */ slice = append(slice, solutionNew) - Jesse -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
