Here is a simple snippet how to convert a string into an unsigned int in Golang. If you need help how to install Golang check the references links.
Code
To convert a string to an unsigned int you can use the method strconv.ParseUint. ParseUint interprets a string s in the given base (2 to 36) and returns the corresponding value i.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"strconv"
)
func main() {
str := "1234"
/** converting the str1 variable into an unsigned int using ParseUint method */
i, err := strconv.ParseUint(str, 10, 64)
if err == nil {
fmt.Printf("Type: %T \n", i)
fmt.Println(i)
}
}
Compile&Run
To compile the code navigate to the file location and run the following command.
$ go build string_to_uint.go
Then depending if you are on Linux or Windows the binary file is created.
To run the application execute the command.
Linux
$ string_to_uint
Windows
c:\Users\adm\go\tutorials> string_to_uint.exe
If you want to compile and run the application in one single step run the following command:
go run string_to_uint.go
Output
Will display the i variables types and the corresponding values.
Type: uint64
1234
