Accessing slice by index when slice is pointer [duplicate]

Question

Is there a short hand for accessing x.Bar[0] in the following case?

The direct attempt results in (type *[]string does not support indexing) for obvious reasons

type A struct {
    B *[]string
}


x := &Foo{Bar: &[]string{"1", "2"}}

Answer 1

It would be

(*x.Bar)[0]

You use parentheses to change the precedence of operators: [] has a higher precedence than *.
