We're going to start off with learning how to convert a Boolean value into a String value:
- In our editor, after creating a new file,
main.go, and themainfunction, as always, let's consider a variable calledisNew, which is a Boolean. Hence the value will betrue.
- So, let's say that we want to print it out to our console with a message. Check the following screenshot:
As you can see, we encounter a compile-time error. Thus, you cannot use the + operator and we need to convert the isNew Boolean value to its string representation.
- Let's use the
stringconvertpackage, which has various string conversion functions, of which, we're going to useFormatBool. - Taking a
Booleanvalue returns every string representation of it, and in this case, it'sisNew. If you look at the signature, you'll see that it returns true or false based on the value of the Boolean value passed:
- So, let's add
isNewStr, run it and check the output:
There is another way of printing such values...
