Modify new array of pointers without replacing pointers in another slice | Discord Gophers | Page 1

#

the full code would be really helpful or reproducible example.
subslicing share the same underlying array and append does not always create a new slice.
more in here https://freshman.tech/snippets/go/copy-slices/

#

a=append(b, item) a might share the same array as b

#

i'm not sure where the problem is, i haven't open the gist.
but this line is shady
argRemainingTeams := append(remainingTeams[:i], remainingTeams[i+1:]...)

#

i'm on my phone, looking at long codes on phone is painful.
try do

argRemainingTeams := append([]thetype(nil), remainingTeams[:i], remainingTeams[i+1:]...)

instead of

argRemainingTeams := append(remainingTeams[:i], remainingTeams[i+1:]...)

#

append create new slice, if its not big enough or nil.
