Array assignment (pointer)

examples/array-assignment-pointer/array_assignment_pointer.go

package main

import (
    "fmt"
)

func main() {
    var ar = [3]int{1, 2, 3}
    br := &ar

    fmt.Println(ar)
    fmt.Println(br)
    ar[1] = 42
    fmt.Println(ar)
    fmt.Println(br)

    fmt.Println(ar[1])
    fmt.Println(br[1])

}

[1 2 3]
&[1 2 3]
[1 42 3]
&[1 42 3]
42
42

This way br is a poiner to ar so they refer to the same data in memory. Even though br is a pointer we can still access elements in the same way as in the original array. We'll discuss pointers in depth later on.
