Sorting array of Ints

I'm attempting to sort an array of Ints using the following function

func sortArray(array [100]int) [100]int {
    var sortedArray = array
    sort.Sort(sort.Ints(sortedArray))

    return sortedArray
}

and getting the following error:

.\helloworld.go:22: cannot use sortedArray (type [100]int) as type []int in argument to sort.Ints .\helloworld.go:22: sort.Ints(sortedArray) used as value

I'm trying to figure out Go and I'm getting stuck on this one.

You probably don't want an array in the first place however, and should be using a slice of []int.

Also, your sortedArray is the same value as array, so there is no reason to create the second variable.

You can sort an array by taking a slice of the entire array

sort.Ints(array[:])
