Basic Slices with Golang

Set up the folder with test and main file:

// slices_test.go
package slices

Push

// slices_test.go

// Push append int to end of int slice

    return append(a, b)

Pop

// slices_test.go

Unshift

// slices_test.go

// Unshift append as first element and return new slice
func Unshift(a []int, b int) []int {

}
copy

Shift

// slices_test.go

// Shift remove from front and return int and new slice
