Get the first and last day of current month in Go/Golang?

Question

I\'m trying to get the first and last day of the current month. You can add days and hours but not the month, which I was thinking of subtracting one day from the next month to

Answer 1

This can also be a solution:

currentTimestamp := time.Now().UTC()
currentYear, currentMonth, _ := currentTimestamp.Date()
currentLocation := currentTimestamp.Location()

firstOfMonth := time.Date(currentYear, currentMonth, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, currentLocation)
lastOfMonth := time.Date(currentYear, currentMonth+1, 0, 23, 59, 59, 999999999, currentLocation)

fmt.Println(firstOfMonth)
fmt.Println(lastOfMonth)

Output:

firstOfMonth: 2019-11-01 00:00:00 +0000 UTC
lastOfMonth: 2019-11-30 23:59:59.999999999 +0000 UTC
