title: Go cannot create global byte slice from string
body: <p>I am trying to make a global byte array from a string with: </p>
  
  <pre><code>var operators = []byte {"+-*/%"}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>however, I am getting the error </p>
  
  <pre><code>cannot use string("+-*/") (type untyped string) as type byte in array or slice literal
  </code></pre>
