golang --Converting and Checking Types

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strconv"
)

func main() {
	strVar := "100"
	intVar, _ := strconv.Atoi(strVar)

	strVar1 := "-52541"
	intVar1, _ := strconv.ParseInt(strVar1, 10, 32)

	strVar2 := "101010101010101010"
	intVar2, _ := strconv.ParseInt(strVar2, 10, 64)

	fmt.Println(intVar, intVar1, intVar2)
}

　Package strconv implements conversions to and from string representations of basic data types. Atoi is equivalent to ParseInt(s, 10, 0), converted to type int. ParseInt interprets a string s in the given base (0, 2 to 36) and bit size (0 to 64) and returns the corresponding value i.

How to Convert string to float type in Go?

ParseFloat converts the string s to a floating-point number with the precision specified by bitSize: 32 for float32, or 64 for float64. When bitSize=32, the result still has type float64, but it will be convertible to float32 without changing its value.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strconv"
)

func main() {
	s := "3.1415926535"
	f, _ := strconv.ParseFloat(s, 8)
	fmt.Printf("%T, %v\n", f, f)

	s1 := "-3.141"
	f1, _ := strconv.ParseFloat(s1, 8)
	fmt.Printf("%T, %v\n", f1, f1)

	s2 := "-3.141"
	f2, _ := strconv.ParseFloat(s2, 32)
	fmt.Printf("%T, %v\n", f2, f2)
}

String to Boolean Data Type Conversion in Go

ParseBool returns the boolean value represented by the string. It accepts 1, t, T, TRUE, true, True, 0, f, F, FALSE, false, False. Any other value returns an error.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strconv"
)

func main() {
	s1 := "true"
	b1, _ := strconv.ParseBool(s1)
	fmt.Printf("%T, %v\n", b1, b1)

	s2 := "t"
	b2, _ := strconv.ParseBool(s2)
	fmt.Printf("%T, %v\n", b2, b2)

	s3 := "0"
	b3, _ := strconv.ParseBool(s3)
	fmt.Printf("%T, %v\n", b3, b3)

	s4 := "F"
	b4, _ := strconv.ParseBool(s4)
	fmt.Printf("%T, %v\n", b4, b4)
}

Convert Boolean Type to String in Go

FormatBool function used to convert Boolean variable into String.

package main

)

func main() {
	var b bool = true
	fmt.Println(reflect.TypeOf(b))

	var s string = strconv.FormatBool(b)

How to Convert Float to String type in Go?

FormatFloat converts the floating-point number f to a string s.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"reflect"
	"strconv"
)

func main() {
	var f float64 = 3.1415926535
	fmt.Println(reflect.TypeOf(f))
	fmt.Println(f)

	var s string = strconv.FormatFloat(f, 'E', -1, 32)
	fmt.Println(reflect.TypeOf(s))
	fmt.Println(s)
}

Convert Integer Type to String in Go

FormatInt converts the Integer number i to a String s.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"reflect"
	"strconv"
)

func main() {
	var i int64 = -654
	fmt.Println(reflect.TypeOf(i))
	fmt.Println(i)

	var s string = strconv.FormatInt(i, 10)
	fmt.Println(reflect.TypeOf(s))
	fmt.Println(s)
}
