How to sort integer array in golang using default sort function

Writer Emily Wong

A stupid question. I can't sort using default sort function in go

 package main import "fmt" import "sort" func main(){ var arr [5]int fmt.Println("Enter 5 elements") for i:=0;i<5;i++{ fmt.Scanf("%d",&arr[i]) } sort.Ints(arr) fmt.Println(arr) }

When executing the above program, It throws out

cannot use arr (type [5]int) as type []int in argument to sort.Ints

Need Help.

sort.Ints expects a slice of int, not an array. Easiest fix is to change

sort.Ints(arr)

to

sort.Ints(arr[:])
