[go-nuts] Re: Understanding how []byte("astring") works

Amit, Compilers implement a specification: The Go Programming Language Specification https://golang.org/ref/spec Conversions A conversion changes the type of an expression to the type specified by the conversion. A conversion may appear literally in the source, or it may be implied by the con

[go-nuts] Understanding how []byte("astring") works

[go-nuts] Question about container/heap

Recently I implemented a heap in GO. To implement a heap, you have to implement Push() and Pop() as well as the 3 methods for sort: Less(),, Swap(), and Len(). For my heap, I never had to Push or Pop, I only had to initialize the heap and repeatedly "Fix" the top element of the heap. As it tu
