Other types. For slices with ints, or other types of elements, we can first convert a slice into a string slice. A method like strconv.Itoa can help.
String slice. Here we convert a string slice into a string. Our string slice has three elements. More can be added with append().
Start We import the "strings" module. With strings.Join, we combine all elements of a string slice into a string.
Tip The second argument to strings.Join is the delimiter. For no delimiter, please use an empty string literal.
package main
import (
"fmt""strings"
)
func main() {
values := []string{"one", "two", "three"}
// Convert string slice to string.// ... Has comma in between strings.
result1 := strings.Join(values, ",")
fmt.Println(result1)
// ... Use no separator.
result2 := strings.Join(values, "")
fmt.Println(result2)
}one,two,three
onetwothree
Int slice to string. Here we convert an int slice into a string. First we create a string slice from the data in the int slice. We use a for-range loop for this.
Important Itoa() converts an int into a string. We then place these strings (text) into the valuesText slice.
Finally We convert our string slice into a string with the strings.Join method.
package main
import (
"fmt""strconv""strings"
)
func main() {
// The int slice we are converting to a string.
values := []int{10, 200, 3000}
valuesText := []string{}
// Create a string slice using strconv.Itoa.// ... Append strings to it.
for i := range values {
number := values[i]
text := strconv.Itoa(number)
valuesText = append(valuesText, text)
}
// Join our string slice.
result := strings.Join(valuesText, "+")
fmt.Println(result)
}10+200+3000
Append runes. In Go we have another option for building up a string. We can append runes to a rune slice based on our data. Then we can convert the rune slice into a string.
A summary. With strings.Join we convert a string slice into a string. Sometimes we can convert another type of data, like an int slice, into a string slice before using Join.
