How to use the strconv.AppendQuoteToAscii() in Go?

Overview

The strconv package’s AppendQuoteToASCII() function is used to append the double-quoted Go string literal, representing s (as generated by QuoteToASCII() function), to dst and returns the extended buffer.

Syntax

func AppendQuoteToASCII(dst []byte, s string) []byte

Parameters

  • dst: is a byte array to which the double-quoted character is appended literally.
  • s: is the string character to be appended.

Return value

The function AppendQuoteToASCII() returns the extended buffer after appending the double-quoted string.

Code example

The following code shows how to implement the AppendQuoteToASCII() function in Go.



// Using strconv.AppendQuoteToASCII() Function



package main



import (

	"fmt"

	"strconv"

)



func main() {

	x := []byte("Empty")

	fmt.Println("initial value in the array before Appending", string(x))

	fmt.Println()



	// Append a string

	x = strconv.AppendQuoteToASCII(x, `"Keep learning! Keep Coding!"`)

	fmt.Println("The new value after Appending", string(x))

	fmt.Println()



	// Append a string

	x = strconv.AppendQuoteToASCII(x, `"Golang is one of my favourite languages"`)

	fmt.Println("The new values", string(x))

	fmt.Println()



	// Append a string 

	x = strconv.AppendQuoteToASCII(x, `"Educative Shot"`)

    x = strconv.AppendQuoteToASCII(x, `"Go Programming Language"` )

    fmt.Println("The new value in the array", string(x))

}

Code explanation

  • Line 4: We add the package main.
  • Lines 6–9: We import the necessary packages in the Go project.
  • Lines 11–21: We define the main() function, the variable x of type string, assign a value to it, and pass the variable in the AppendQuoteToASCII() function. This returns a double-quoted Go string literal representing the given string.
  • Finally, we display the result.

Note: All the values assigned to variable x are appended to the dst.
