Arrays and Slices

• arrays define size in declaration
• slices are like array
• have fixed capacity but can create new ones from old ones using slice = append(slice, additionalSlice)
• can slice slices using [start:stop] syntax
• len can get the length of of an array or slice
• go test -cover to get test coverage
• reflect.DeepEqual to compare slices
• can reduce type safety of code
  • can use a wrapper function to handle type unsafety
• slices can be made of elements of any type, even other slices
• ex) [][]string
