Go Strings Are Immutable

In Go, strings are immutable, meaning once a string is created, its contents cannot be modified. This design provides efficiency, safety, and memory optimization but requires alternative approaches when modifying strings.

In this lesson, we will understand why Go strings are immutable and explore ways to modify a string indirectly.

Why Are Strings Immutable in Go?

Go strings are stored as read-only slices of bytes, which ensures:

1. Memory Efficiency → Avoids unnecessary memory allocations when passing strings.
