Floating-point numbers
suggest changeGo has floating point numbers corresponding to the IEEE 754 standard:
float32is a 4 byte floating-point number (known asfloatin C)float64is a 8 byte floating-point number (known asdoublein C)
Zero value of float32 and float64 is 0.0.
Convert float to string with FormatFloat
var f32 float32 = 1.3
bitSize := 32
s1 := strconv.FormatFloat(float64(f32), 'E', -1, bitSize)
fmt.Printf("f32: %s\n", s1)
var f64 float64 = 8.1234
bitSize = 64
s2 := strconv.FormatFloat(f64, 'e', -1, bitSize)
fmt.Printf("f64: %s\n", s2)f32: 1.3E+00
f64: 8.1234e+00
Convert float to string with Sprintf
var f64 float64 = 1.54
s := fmt.Sprintf("%f", f64)
fmt.Printf("f is: '%s'\n", s)f is: '1.540000'
Using strconv.FormatFloat is faster than fmt.Sprintf.
Convert string to float with ParseFloat
s := "1.2341"
f64, err := strconv.ParseFloat(s, 64)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("strconv.ParseFloat() failed with '%s'\n", err)
}
fmt.Printf("f64: %f\n", f64)f64: 1.234100
Convert string to float with Sscanf
s := "1.2341"
var f float64
_, err := fmt.Sscanf(s, "%f", &f)
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf("fmt.Sscanf failed with '%s'\n", err)
}
fmt.Printf("f: %f\n", f)f: 1.234100
Found a mistake? Have a question or improvement idea?
Let me know.
