I was wondering how can I add an integer value to a string value like "10". I know I can accomplish this by converting the string into an int first and then after adding the integer I can convert it back into string. But can I accomplish this in a single statement in golang. For example I can do this with multiple lines like this:
i, err := strconv.Atoi("10")
// handle error
i = i + 5
s := strconv.Itoa(i)
But is there any way that I can accomplish this in a single statement?
分享 There is no ready function in the standard library for what you want to do. And the reason for that is because adding a number to a number available as a string and having the result as another string is (terribly) inefficient.
The model (memory representation) of the string type does not support adding numbers to it efficiently (not to mention that string values are immutable, a new one has to be created); the memory model of int does support adding efficiently for example (and CPUs also have direct operations for that). No one wants to add ints to numbers stored as string values. If you want to add numbers, have your numbers ready just as that: numbers. When you want to print or transmit, only then convert it to string (if you must).
But everything becomes a single statement if you have a ready util function for it:
func add(s string, n int) (string, error) {
i, err := strconv.Atoi(s)
if err != nil {
return "", err
}
return strconv.Itoa(i + n), nil
}
Using it:
s, err := add("10", 5)
fmt.Println(s, err)
Output (try it on the Go Playground):
15 <nil>
