Shallow copy and Deep copy in Go

Read Original

This technical article explores the concepts of shallow copy and deep copy in the Go programming language. It examines how basic data types (int, string), slices, arrays, maps, and structs behave when copied, detailing which types are deep-copied by default and which are shallow-copied. The author includes code examples and memory address outputs to illustrate the behavior and clarifies terminology regarding 'call by value'.
