Maria ElijahGolang strconv.AppendQuote()
The strconv package’s AppendQuote() method is used to append the double-quoted Go string literal representing s (as generated by the Quote() function) to dst and return the extended buffer.
Syntax
func AppendQuoteRune(dst []byte, r rune) []byte
Parameters
dst: This is a byte array to which the double-quoted string is to be appended.s: This is the double-quoted string to be appended.
Return value
The function AppendQuote() returns the extended buffer after appending the double-quoted string.
Code
The following code shows how to use the AppendQuote() function in Golang.
// Using strconv.AppendQuote() Function
package main
import (
"fmt"
"strconv"
)
func main() {
// Declaring and assigning value
x := []byte("Quote 1:")
fmt.Println()
fmt.Println("Before AppendQuote():", string(x))
// Using AppendQuote to appending a quote to the x
x = strconv.AppendQuote(x, `"Keep learning! keep coding!"`)
fmt.Println()
fmt.Println("After AppendQuote()", string(x))
// Declaring and assigning value
y := []byte("Quote 2:")
fmt.Println()
fmt.Println("Before AppendQuote():", string(y))
// Using AppendQuote to appending a quote to the x
y = strconv.AppendQuote(y, `"Shot on strconv.AppendQuote()"`)
fmt.Println()
fmt.Println("After AppendQuote()", string(y))
}Code explanation
-
Line 4: We add the
mainpackage. -
Lines 6–9: We import the necessary packages.
-
Lines 11–25: We define the
main()function and the variablesxandyof byte array type, and assign a value to each. -
Lines 18-20: We pass the variable to the
AppendQuote()function, which appends the double-quoted Go string literal. -
Finally, the double-quoted string is displayed.
