I'm working on a piece of code that returns uint data type. I need to convert uint datatype into string for further processing.
I've already tried strconv package and none of the functions accept uint. Golang Documentation: https://golang.org/ref/spec#Numeric_types states that uint are platform dependent. Is that the reason we don't have any standard functions for conversion?
type Example{
Id uint //value 3
name string
}
Need to extract Id into a string.
Expected: "3" Actual: N/A
Use strconv.FormatUint():
package main
import (
"fmt"
"strconv"
)
func main() {
var n uint = 123
var s string = strconv.FormatUint(uint64(n), 10)
fmt.Printf("s=%s\n", s)
}
uint64 explicitly.
In Go (Golang), converting a uint to a string is a straightforward task that can typically be achieved using the fmt.Sprintf function from the standard library's fmt package. This function is very versatile for formatting data types into strings.
Here’s how you can convert a uint variable to a string using fmt.Sprintf:
package main
import (
"fmt"
)
func main() {
var myUint uint = 10
myString := fmt.Sprintf("%d", myUint)
fmt.Println("The string representation of myUint is:", myString)
}
