strconv.AppendFloat() function is used to append float value to the slice of bytes in go. It appends float value in multiple format.
AppendFloat() function of strconv package is used to appends the string form of the floating-point number f, as generated by FormatFloat, to dst.
Function prototype:
func AppendFloat(dst []byte, f float64, fmt byte, prec, bitSize int) []byte Input parameters: dst: Destination where float value to be appended f: It contains either float32 or float64 value to be appended to dst fmt: Format of float value prec: Precision in float value bitSize: Either 32 or 64. It means either float32 or float64 Returns: 1: It returns the extended buffer i.e slice of bytes having appended float value.
Explanation on how to append float value to slice of bytes in go
- AppendFloat() function appends float value at the end of destination.
Example:
1)
b32 := []byte("float32: ")
b32 = strconv.AppendFloat(b32, 3.1415926535, 'f', -1, 32)
Output:
float32: 3.1415927
2)
b32 = []byte("float32: ")
b32 = strconv.AppendFloat(b32, 3.1415926535, 'E', -1, 32)
Output:
float32: 3.1415927E+00
3)
b64 := []byte("float64: ")
b64 = strconv.AppendFloat(b64, 3.1415926535, 'f', -1, 64)
Output:
float64: 3.1415926535
Example with code:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"strconv"
)
func main() {
b32 := []byte("float32: ")
b32 = strconv.AppendFloat(b32, 3.1415926535, 'f', -1, 32)
fmt.Println(string(b32))
b32 = []byte("float32: ")
b32 = strconv.AppendFloat(b32, 3.1415926535, 'E', -1, 32)
fmt.Println(string(b32))
b32 = []byte("float32: ")
b32 = strconv.AppendFloat(b32, 3.1415926535, 'b', 6, 32)
fmt.Println(string(b32))
b64 := []byte("float64: ")
b64 = strconv.AppendFloat(b64, 3.1415926535, 'f', -1, 64)
fmt.Println(string(b64))
b64 = []byte("float64: ")
b64 = strconv.AppendFloat(b64, 3.1415926535, 'E', -1, 64)
fmt.Println(string(b64))
b64 = []byte("float64: ")
b64 = strconv.AppendFloat(b64, 3.1415926535, 'f', 4, 64)
fmt.Println(string(b64))
}Output:
% go run sample.go float32: 3.1415927 float32: 3.1415927E+00 float32: 13176795p-22 float64: 3.1415926535 float64: 3.1415926535E+00 float64: 3.1416
