<h3 id="Appending_and_copying_slices">Appending to and copying slices</h3>

<p>
The built-in functions <code>append</code> and <code>copy</code> assist in
common slice operations.
For both functions, the result is independent of whether the memory referenced
by the arguments overlaps.

<p>

represents the bitwise and instruction,
<code>AND</code> (without the leading <code>A</code>),
and is written in assembly source as <code>AND</code>.
The enumeration is mostly in alphabetical order.
(The architecture-independent <code>AXXX</code>, defined in the
<code>cmd/internal/obj</code> package,
represents an invalid instruction).
The sequence of the <code>A</code> names has nothing to do with the actual
encoding of the machine instructions.

An <i>integer</i>, <i>floating-point</i>, or <i>complex</i> type
represents the set of integer, floating-point, or complex values, respectively.
They are collectively called <i>numeric types</i>.
The predeclared architecture-independent numeric types are:
