go convert floating point number, to a string, with decimal digits.
To convert a floating-point number to a string with decimal digits in Go, you can use the strconv
package. Here are the steps to do so:
- Import the
strconv
package:
import "strconv"
- Convert the floating-point number to a string using the
FormatFloat
function:
str := strconv.FormatFloat(number, 'f', -1, 64)
The FormatFloat
function takes four arguments:
- number
: The floating-point number you want to convert.
- 'f'
: The format specifier, which indicates that you want to convert the number to a decimal representation.
- -1
: The precision, which indicates that you want to use the default precision for the given type.
- 64
: The bitSize, which indicates the size of the floating-point number in bits (e.g., 32 for float32 and 64 for float64).
- The resulting string value will be stored in the
str
variable.
Here is an example that demonstrates the conversion:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"strconv"
)
func main() {
number := 3.14159
str := strconv.FormatFloat(number, 'f', -1, 64)
fmt.Println(str)
}
This will output:
3.14159
This example converts the floating-point number 3.14159
to a string representation with the default precision.
