Overview

Package strconv implements conversions to and from string representations of basic data types.

Numeric Conversions

The most common numeric conversions are Atoi (string to int) and Itoa (int to string). 

i, err := strconv.Atoi("-42")
s := strconv.Itoa(-42)

These assume decimal and the Go int type.

ParseBool, ParseFloat, ParseInt, and ParseUint convert strings to values: 

b, err := strconv.ParseBool("true")
f, err := strconv.ParseFloat("3.1415", 64)
i, err := strconv.ParseInt("-42", 10, 64)
u, err := strconv.ParseUint("42", 10, 64)

The parse functions return the widest type (float64, int64, and uint64), but if the size argument specifies a narrower width the result can be converted to that narrower type without data loss: 

s := "2147483647" // biggest int32
i64, err := strconv.ParseInt(s, 10, 32)
...
i := int32(i64)

FormatBool, FormatFloat, FormatInt, and FormatUint convert values to strings: 

s := strconv.FormatBool(true)
s := strconv.FormatFloat(3.1415, 'E', -1, 64)
s := strconv.FormatInt(-42, 16)
s := strconv.FormatUint(42, 16)

AppendBool, AppendFloat, AppendInt, and AppendUint are similar but append the formatted value to a destination slice.

String Conversions

Quote and QuoteToASCII convert strings to quoted Go string literals. The latter guarantees that the result is an ASCII string, by escaping any non-ASCII Unicode with \u: 

q := strconv.Quote("Hello, 世界")
q := strconv.QuoteToASCII("Hello, 世界")

QuoteRune and QuoteRuneToASCII are similar but accept runes and return quoted Go rune literals.

Unquote and UnquoteChar unquote Go string and rune literals.

Atoi is equivalent to ParseInt(s, 10, 0), converted to type int.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strconv"
)

func main() {
	v := "10"

	"fmt"
	"strconv"
)

func main() {
	v := true
	s := strconv.FormatBool(v)
	fmt.Printf("%T, %v\n", s, s)

}

Output:

string, true

func FormatFloat 

func FormatFloat(f float64, fmt byte, prec, bitSize int) string

FormatFloat converts the floating-point number f to a string, according to the format fmt and precision prec. It rounds the result assuming that the original was obtained from a floating-point value of bitSize bits (32 for float32, 64 for float64).

The format fmt is one of 'b' (-ddddp±ddd, a binary exponent), 'e' (-d.dddde±dd, a decimal exponent), 'E' (-d.ddddE±dd, a decimal exponent), 'f' (-ddd.dddd, no exponent), 'g' ('e' for large exponents, 'f' otherwise), or 'G' ('E' for large exponents, 'f' otherwise).

The precision prec controls the number of digits (excluding the exponent) printed by the 'e', 'E', 'f', 'g', and 'G' formats. For 'e', 'E', and 'f' it is the number of digits after the decimal point. For 'g' and 'G' it is the maximum number of significant digits (trailing zeros are removed). The special precision -1 uses the smallest number of digits necessary such that ParseFloat will return f exactly.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strconv"
)

func main() {
	v := 3.1415926535

	s32 := strconv.FormatFloat(v, 'E', -1, 32)
	fmt.Printf("%T, %v\n", s32, s32)

	s64 := strconv.FormatFloat(v, 'E', -1, 64)
	fmt.Printf("%T, %v\n", s64, s64)

}

Output:

string, 3.1415927E+00
string, 3.1415926535E+00

func FormatInt 

func FormatInt(i int64, base int) string

FormatInt returns the string representation of i in the given base, for 2 <= base <= 36. The result uses the lower-case letters 'a' to 'z' for digit values >= 10.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strconv"
)

func main() {
	v := int64(-42)

	s10 := strconv.FormatInt(v, 10)
	fmt.Printf("%T, %v\n", s10, s10)

	s16 := strconv.FormatInt(v, 16)
	fmt.Printf("%T, %v\n", s16, s16)

}

Output:

string, -42
string, -2a

func FormatUint 

func FormatUint(i uint64, base int) string

FormatUint returns the string representation of i in the given base, for 2 <= base <= 36. The result uses the lower-case letters 'a' to 'z' for digit values >= 10.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strconv"
)

func main() {
	v := uint64(42)

	s10 := strconv.FormatUint(v, 10)
	fmt.Printf("%T, %v\n", s10, s10)

	s16 := strconv.FormatUint(v, 16)
	fmt.Printf("%T, %v\n", s16, s16)

}

Output:

string, 42
string, 2a

func IsGraphic 

func IsGraphic(r rune) bool

IsGraphic reports whether the rune is defined as a Graphic by Unicode. Such characters include letters, marks, numbers, punctuation, symbols, and spaces, from categories L, M, N, P, S, and Zs.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strconv"
)

func main() {
	shamrock := strconv.IsGraphic('☘')
	fmt.Println(shamrock)

	a := strconv.IsGraphic('a')
	fmt.Println(a)

	bel := strconv.IsGraphic('\007')
	fmt.Println(bel)

}

Output:

true
true
false

func IsPrint 

func IsPrint(r rune) bool

IsPrint reports whether the rune is defined as printable by Go, with the same definition as unicode.IsPrint: letters, numbers, punctuation, symbols and ASCII space.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strconv"
)

func main() {
	c := strconv.IsPrint('\u263a')
	fmt.Println(c)

	bel := strconv.IsPrint('\007')
	fmt.Println(bel)

}

Output:

true
false

func Itoa 

func Itoa(i int) string

Itoa is equivalent to FormatInt(int64(i), 10).

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strconv"
)

func main() {
	i := 10
	s := strconv.Itoa(i)
	fmt.Printf("%T, %v\n", s, s)

}

Output:

string, 10

func ParseBool 

func ParseBool(str string) (bool, error)

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.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strconv"
)

func main() {
	v := "true"
	if s, err := strconv.ParseBool(v); err == nil {
		fmt.Printf("%T, %v\n", s, s)
	}

}

Output:

bool, true

func ParseFloat 

func ParseFloat(s string, bitSize int) (float64, error)

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.

If s is well-formed and near a valid floating point number, ParseFloat returns the nearest floating point number rounded using IEEE754 unbiased rounding.

The errors that ParseFloat returns have concrete type *NumError and include err.Num = s.

If s is not syntactically well-formed, ParseFloat returns err.Err = ErrSyntax.

If s is syntactically well-formed but is more than 1/2 ULP away from the largest floating point number of the given size, ParseFloat returns f = ±Inf, err.Err = ErrRange.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strconv"
)

func main() {
	v := "3.1415926535"
	if s, err := strconv.ParseFloat(v, 32); err == nil {
		fmt.Printf("%T, %v\n", s, s)
	}
	if s, err := strconv.ParseFloat(v, 64); err == nil {
		fmt.Printf("%T, %v\n", s, s)
	}

}

Output:

float64, 3.1415927410125732
float64, 3.1415926535

func ParseInt 

func ParseInt(s string, base int, bitSize int) (i int64, err error)

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.

If base == 0, the base is implied by the string's prefix: base 16 for "0x", base 8 for "0", and base 10 otherwise. For bases 1, below 0 or above 36 an error is returned.

The bitSize argument specifies the integer type that the result must fit into. Bit sizes 0, 8, 16, 32, and 64 correspond to int, int8, int16, int32, and int64. For a bitSize below 0 or above 64 an error is returned.

The errors that ParseInt returns have concrete type *NumError and include err.Num = s. If s is empty or contains invalid digits, err.Err = ErrSyntax and the returned value is 0; if the value corresponding to s cannot be represented by a signed integer of the given size, err.Err = ErrRange and the returned value is the maximum magnitude integer of the appropriate bitSize and sign.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strconv"
)

func main() {
	v32 := "-354634382"
	if s, err := strconv.ParseInt(v32, 10, 32); err == nil {
		fmt.Printf("%T, %v\n", s, s)
	}
	if s, err := strconv.ParseInt(v32, 16, 32); err == nil {
		fmt.Printf("%T, %v\n", s, s)
	}

	v64 := "-3546343826724305832"
	if s, err := strconv.ParseInt(v64, 10, 64); err == nil {
		fmt.Printf("%T, %v\n", s, s)
	}
	if s, err := strconv.ParseInt(v64, 16, 64); err == nil {
		fmt.Printf("%T, %v\n", s, s)
	}

}

Output:

int64, -354634382
int64, -3546343826724305832

func ParseUint 

func ParseUint(s string, base int, bitSize int) (uint64, error)

ParseUint is like ParseInt but for unsigned numbers.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strconv"
)

func main() {
	v := "42"
	if s, err := strconv.ParseUint(v, 10, 32); err == nil {
		fmt.Printf("%T, %v\n", s, s)
	}
	if s, err := strconv.ParseUint(v, 10, 64); err == nil {
		fmt.Printf("%T, %v\n", s, s)
	}

}

Output:

uint64, 42
uint64, 42

func Quote 

func Quote(s string) string

Quote returns a double-quoted Go string literal representing s. The returned string uses Go escape sequences (\t, \n, \xFF, \u0100) for control characters and non-printable characters as defined by IsPrint.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strconv"
)

func main() {
	s := strconv.Quote(`"Fran & Freddie's Diner	☺"`) // there is a tab character inside the string literal
	fmt.Println(s)

}

Output:

"\"Fran & Freddie's Diner\t☺\""

func QuoteRune 

func QuoteRune(r rune) string

QuoteRune returns a single-quoted Go character literal representing the rune. The returned string uses Go escape sequences (\t, \n, \xFF, \u0100) for control characters and non-printable characters as defined by IsPrint.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strconv"
)

func main() {
	s := strconv.QuoteRune('☺')
	fmt.Println(s)

}

Output:

'☺'

func QuoteRuneToASCII 

func QuoteRuneToASCII(r rune) string

QuoteRuneToASCII returns a single-quoted Go character literal representing the rune. The returned string uses Go escape sequences (\t, \n, \xFF, \u0100) for non-ASCII characters and non-printable characters as defined by IsPrint.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strconv"
)

func main() {
	s := strconv.QuoteRuneToASCII('☺')
	fmt.Println(s)

}

Output:

'\u263a'

func QuoteRuneToGraphic 

func QuoteRuneToGraphic(r rune) string

QuoteRuneToGraphic returns a single-quoted Go character literal representing the rune. The returned string uses Go escape sequences (\t, \n, \xFF, \u0100) for non-ASCII characters and non-printable characters as defined by IsGraphic.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strconv"
)

func main() {
	s := strconv.QuoteRuneToGraphic('☺')
	fmt.Println(s)

	s = strconv.QuoteRuneToGraphic('\u263a')
	fmt.Println(s)

	s = strconv.QuoteRuneToGraphic('\u000a')
	fmt.Println(s)

	s = strconv.QuoteRuneToGraphic('	') // tab character
	fmt.Println(s)

}

Output:

'☺'
'☺'
'\n'
'\t'

func QuoteToASCII 

func QuoteToASCII(s string) string

QuoteToASCII returns a double-quoted Go string literal representing s. The returned string uses Go escape sequences (\t, \n, \xFF, \u0100) for non-ASCII characters and non-printable characters as defined by IsPrint.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strconv"
)

func main() {
	s := strconv.QuoteToASCII(`"Fran & Freddie's Diner	☺"`) // there is a tab character inside the string literal
	fmt.Println(s)

}

Output:

"\"Fran & Freddie's Diner\t\u263a\""

func QuoteToGraphic 

func QuoteToGraphic(s string) string

QuoteToGraphic returns a double-quoted Go string literal representing s. The returned string uses Go escape sequences (\t, \n, \xFF, \u0100) for non-ASCII characters and non-printable characters as defined by IsGraphic.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strconv"
)

func main() {
	s := strconv.QuoteToGraphic("☺")
	fmt.Println(s)

	s = strconv.QuoteToGraphic("This is a \u263a	\u000a") // there is a tab character inside the string literal
	fmt.Println(s)

	s = strconv.QuoteToGraphic(`" This is a ☺ \n "`)
	fmt.Println(s)

}

Output:

"☺"
"This is a ☺\t\n"
"\" This is a ☺ \\n \""

func Unquote 

func Unquote(s string) (string, error)

Unquote interprets s as a single-quoted, double-quoted, or backquoted Go string literal, returning the string value that s quotes. (If s is single-quoted, it would be a Go character literal; Unquote returns the corresponding one-character string.)

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strconv"
)

func main() {
	s, err := strconv.Unquote("You can't unquote a string without quotes")
	fmt.Printf("%q, %v\n", s, err)
	s, err = strconv.Unquote("\"The string must be either double-quoted\"")
	fmt.Printf("%q, %v\n", s, err)
	s, err = strconv.Unquote("`or backquoted.`")
	fmt.Printf("%q, %v\n", s, err)
	s, err = strconv.Unquote("'\u263a'") // single character only allowed in single quotes
	fmt.Printf("%q, %v\n", s, err)
	s, err = strconv.Unquote("'\u2639\u2639'")
	fmt.Printf("%q, %v\n", s, err)

}

Output:

"", invalid syntax
"The string must be either double-quoted", <nil>
"or backquoted.", <nil>
"☺", <nil>
"", invalid syntax

func UnquoteChar 

func UnquoteChar(s string, quote byte) (value rune, multibyte bool, tail string, err error)

UnquoteChar decodes the first character or byte in the escaped string or character literal represented by the string s. It returns four values:

  1. value, the decoded Unicode code point or byte value;
  2. multibyte, a boolean indicating whether the decoded character requires a multibyte UTF-8 representation;
  3. tail, the remainder of the string after the character; and
  4. an error that will be nil if the character is syntactically valid.

The second argument, quote, specifies the type of literal being parsed and therefore which escaped quote character is permitted. If set to a single quote, it permits the sequence \' and disallows unescaped '. If set to a double quote, it permits \" and disallows unescaped ". If set to zero, it does not permit either escape and allows both quote characters to appear unescaped.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"log"
	"strconv"
)

func main() {
	v, mb, t, err := strconv.UnquoteChar(`\"Fran & Freddie's Diner\"`, '"')
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	fmt.Println("value:", string(v))
	fmt.Println("multibyte:", mb)
	fmt.Println("tail:", t)

}

Output:

value: "
multibyte: false
tail: Fran & Freddie's Diner\"

Types

type NumError 

type NumError struct {
	Func string // the failing function (ParseBool, ParseInt, ParseUint, ParseFloat)
	Num  string // the input
	Err  error  // the reason the conversion failed (e.g. ErrRange, ErrSyntax, etc.)
}

A NumError records a failed conversion.

Example 
package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strconv"
)

func main() {
	str := "Not a number"
	if _, err := strconv.ParseFloat(str, 64); err != nil {
		e := err.(*strconv.NumError)
		fmt.Println("Func:", e.Func)
		fmt.Println("Num:", e.Num)
		fmt.Println("Err:", e.Err)
		fmt.Println(err)
	}

}

Output:

Func: ParseFloat
Num: Not a number
Err: invalid syntax
strconv.ParseFloat: parsing "Not a number": invalid syntax

func (*NumError) Error 

func (e *NumError) Error() string
