How to convert a bool to a string in Go?

Question

I am trying to convert a bool called isExist to a string (true or false) by using string(isExist)

Answer 1

you may use strconv.FormatBool like this:

package main

import "fmt"
import "strconv"

func main() {
    isExist := true
    str := strconv.FormatBool(isExist)
    fmt.Println(str)        //true
    fmt.Printf("%q\n", str) //"true"
}

or you may use fmt.Sprint like this:

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
    isExist := true
    str := fmt.Sprint(isExist)
    fmt.Println(str)        //true
    fmt.Printf("%q\n", str) //"true"
}

or write like strconv.FormatBool:

// FormatBool returns "true" or "false" according to the value of b
func FormatBool(b bool) string {
    if b {
        return "true"
    }
    return "false"
}
