Strings and strconv Package

In this lesson, you'll study strings, strconv package, and the functions supported by them.

Strings are a basic data structure, and every language has a number of predefined functions for manipulating strings. In Go, these are gathered in a package, strings. We’ll discuss below some very useful functions one by one.

HasPrefix tests whether the string s begins with a prefix prefix:

strings.HasPrefix(s, prefix string) bool

HasSuffix tests whether the string s ends with a suffix suffix:

strings.HasSuffix(s, suffix string) bool
