In Go, we care about performance, Therefore, we would benchmark your code:
func isASCII(s string) bool {
for _, c := range s {
if c > unicode.MaxASCII {
return false
}
}
return true
}
BenchmarkRange-4 20000000 82.0 ns/op
A faster (better, more idiomatic) version, which avoids unnecessary rune conversions:
func isASCII(s string) bool {
for i := 0; i < len(s); i++ {
if s[i] > unicode.MaxASCII {
return false
}
}
return true
}
BenchmarkIndex-4 30000000 55.4 ns/op
ascii_test.go
:
package main
import (
"testing"
"unicode"
)
func isASCIIRange(s string) bool {
for _, c := range s {
if c > unicode.MaxASCII {
return false
}
}
return true
}
func BenchmarkRange(b *testing.B) {
str := ascii()
b.ResetTimer()
for N := 0; N < b.N; N++ {
is := isASCIIRange(str)
if !is {
b.Fatal("notASCII")
}
}
}
func isASCIIIndex(s string) bool {
for i := 0; i < len(s); i++ {
if s[i] > unicode.MaxASCII {
return false
}
}
return true
}
func BenchmarkIndex(b *testing.B) {
str := ascii()
b.ResetTimer()
for N := 0; N < b.N; N++ {
is := isASCIIIndex(str)
if !is {
b.Log("notASCII")
}
}
}
func ascii() string {
byt := make([]byte, unicode.MaxASCII+1)
for i := range byt {
byt[i] = byte(i)
}
return string(byt)
}
