Error while creating slice of bool type in Golang?

Question

I am trying to create slice of type bool but receiving error "cannot make type bool"

isVisited := make(bool,5,5)

./jdoodle.go:10:19: cannot make type bool

I also checked slice doc https://blog.golang.org/slices-intro

And several other articles on Golang but no success.

Thanks for help in advance.

Answer 1

You are missing [] . To make isVisited a slice you need to do isVisited:= make([]bool, 5, 5) .

[]bool denotes a slice of type bool .

There's a nice example in Effective Go both in section about make() and slices .
