What is strconv.QuoteRuneToGraphic() Function in Golang

Overview

The strconv package includes the QuoteRuneToGraphic() function used to get a single-quoted Go character literal representing the rune r. The resulting string will utilize a Go escape sequence if the rune is not a Unicode graphic character, as described by the IsGraphic() function (\t, \n, \xFF, \u0100).

Syntax

func QuoteRuneToGraphic(r rune) string

Parameter

r: The rune value is to be returned with a single-quoted Go character literal which represents the rune r.

Return type

A string type is returned.

Return value

The QuoteRuneToGraphic() function returns a single-quoted Go character literal which represents the given rune value.

Code

The following code shows how to implement the QuoteRuneToGraphic() function in Golang:

Note: To use the QuoteRuneToGraphic() function, we must first import the strconv Package into our program.

// Golang program 
// Using strconv.QuoteRuneToGraphic() Function
package main
import (
	"fmt"
	"strconv"
)
func main() {
  // declare a variable of rune type
  var str rune
  // assign value
  str = '☺'
  // QuoteRuneToGraphic() function returns a single-quoted Go character literal 
  // represents the given rune value.
	fmt.Println(strconv.QuoteRuneToGraphic(str))
  // reassign value 
  str = '🙉'
  // QuoteRuneToGraphic() function returns a single-quoted Go character literal 
  // represents the given rune value.
	fmt.Println(strconv.QuoteRuneToGraphic(str))
  // reassign value 
  str = '♥'
  // QuoteRuneToGraphic() function returns a single-quoted Go character literal 
  // represents the given rune value.
	fmt.Println(strconv.QuoteRuneToGraphic(str))
  fmt.Println("************")
  // displays the Go excape sequence
  fmt.Println(strconv.QuoteRuneToGraphic('\u000a'))
}
