The answer, I think, is in your question. A slice (such as slice[2:]) is a
reference to the underlying storage and not the storage itself so it can't
be used. In this case, it's an rvalue
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-value), not a lvalue
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-value).

I am not just wanting to append a value, but curious about why slice[2:]
can't be used
as the left-value. As Andrew has pointed out, "slice[2:] is a slice
value, not a slice variable.".
Thanks!

Actually it sounds like Nan Xiao just wants to append to the slice:
slice = append(slice, 3)
After this, slice will contain {1, 2, 3}.

append returns a slice value, which must be assigned to a slice variable.
slice[2:] is a slice value, not a slice variable.
I think
slice = append(slice[2:], 3)
will do what you want.

Hi Jesse,
I just want to replace the value of the slice.E.g.:
slice := []int{1, 2}
slice[2:] = append(slice[2:], 3)
just want to add 3 in the slice[2].
Best Regards

There are languages in which that would work (e.g., R) to replace part
of the slice, but Go is not such a language.

Hi all,
Just curious, why the following statements make a compile error: "cannot
assign to slice[2:]"?
slice := []int{1, 2}
slice[2:] = append(slice[2:], 3)
slice[2:] is a value, it's not a variable.
What would you expect the result of this statement to be?
