How to sort integer array in golang using default sort function

A stupid question. I can't sort using default sort function in go

package main
import "fmt"
import "sort"

func main() {
    var arr [5]int
    fmt.Println("Enter 5 elements")
    for i:=0;i<5;i++{
        fmt.Scanf("%d",&arr[i])
    }
    sort.Ints(arr)
    fmt.Println(arr)
}

When executing the above program, It throws out

cannot use arr (type [5]int) as type []int in argument to sort.Ints

Need Help.

sort.Ints expects a slice of int, not an array. Easiest fix is to change

sort.Ints(arr)

to

sort.Ints(arr[:])
