I'm getting an index out of range error with the accepted answer solution. Reason: When range start, it is not iterate value one by one, it is iterate by index. If you modified a slice while it is in range, it will induce some problem.
Old Answer:
chars := []string{"a", "a", "b"}
for i, v := range chars {
fmt.Printf("%+v, %d, %s\n", chars, i, v)
if v == "a" {
chars = append(chars[:i], chars[i+1:]...)
}
}
fmt.Printf("%+v", chars)
Expected :
[a a b], 0, a
[a b], 0, a
[b], 0, b
Result: [b]
Actual:
// Autual
[a a b], 0, a
[a b], 1, b
[a b], 2, b
Result: [a b]
Correct Way (Solution):
chars := []string{"a", "a", "b"}
for i := 0; i < len(chars); i++ {
if chars[i] == "a" {
chars = append(chars[:i], chars[i+1:]...)
i-- // form the remove item index to start iterate next item
}
}
fmt.Printf("%+v", chars)
