How to populate struct slice using array?

Question

In Go is it possible to populate a struct slice? My data is an array of strings.

a := [string1, string2, string3, string4]

type User struct {
     NickName string
}

var u []User

How do I populate u with the contents of a?

Use make to create the slice and a for loop to populate the slice:

u := make([]User, len(a))
for i := range a {
    u[i].NickName = a[i]
}
