How to fmt.Printf an integer with thousands comma

Question

Does Go\'s fmt.Printf support outputting a number with the thousands comma?

fmt.Printf(\"%d\", 1000) outputs 1000, what format

Answer 1

I published a Go snippet over at Github of a function to render a number (float64 or int) according to user-specified thousand separator, decimal separator and decimal precision.

Usage: s := RenderFloat(format, n)

The format parameter tells how to render the number n.

Examples of format strings, given n = 12345.6789:

"#,###.##" => "12,345.67"
"#,###." => "12,345"
"#,###" => "12345,678"
"#\u202F###,##" => "12 345,67"
"#.###,###### => 12.345,678900
"" (aka default format) => 12,345.67
