I have a sized byte array that I got after doing md5.Sum()
.
data := []byte("testing") var pass string var b [16]byte b = md5.Sum(data) pass = string(b)
I get the error:
cannot convert b (type [16]byte) to type string

You can refer to it as a slice:
pass = string(b[:])
A little late but keep in mind that using string(b[:])
will print mostly invalid characters.
If you're trying to get a hex representation of it like php you can use something like:
data := []byte("testing") b := md5.Sum(data) //this is mostly invalid characters fmt.Println(string(b[:])) pass := hex.EncodeToString(b[:]) fmt.Println(pass) // or pass = fmt.Sprintf("%x", b) fmt.Println(pass)
Make a slice of it:
pass = string(b[:])
it can be solved by this
pass = fmt.Sprintf("%x", b)
or
import "encoding/base64" pass = base64.StdEncoding.EncodeToString(b[:])
this will encoding it to base64 string
