Slice of structs behaviour

Question

When we declare a slice of structs, but set the data type to a pointer to the struct, does go automatically convert the literals to pointers?

type book struct {
    id int
    name string
}

var books = []*book {
    {1, "Yellow moon"}, // ---> Is this a pointer to book OR just book
}

Answer 1

It is possible to define with and without type:
