concatenating a string and a float

[chinmay]

Hi all,

Please tell me how do I concatenate a string and a float
Generally how do I convert a float (or any other type) to string
format ?

[eaburns]

This seemed to work for me:

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {

str := "pi: " + fmt.Sprintf("%g", 3.1415926536)

fmt.Printf("%s\n", str)

}

[eaburns]

By the way, I explicitly tried to separate the conversion and the concatenation.  Obviously you can probably easily find a much simpler program that accomplishes the same thing :-D

okay,
after reading the docs I feel Ftoa32 is a better method !

You could also do:
str := fmt.Sprintf("%s: %g", "pi", 3.1415926536)

Or whatever floats your boat.

Have I not already mentioned the fmt package? If so, I'll
mention it again: the fmt package.

Isn't the strconv package made just for this kind of stuff?

Some of it (but a good point despite my following):

... conversions to and from string representations of basic data types.

So if you have maps and slices and structs and stuff, you'd have
to write a deal by hand. Depending on /exactly/ what one is trying
to do -- the OP isn't specific -- one or other may be more useful.

I prefer:

fmt.Sprint("pi:", 3.1415926536)
