Hello,

When you use the colon, you taking a subset of the data.  Further, the 
notation is a closed/open.  So a slice primes[6:6] is all of the element in 
the array with index >= 6 and index < 6, which is an empty set.  Note that 
the type of the expression primes[6:6] is []int.

When you don't use the colon, you are access a specific element.  Since the 
count is zero based, the valid indices are 0 through 5 inclusive.  Note 
that the type of the expression primes[6] is simply int.

Good luck.
