[Question]: String Formatting Verbs #1

Open SmarterOps opened 1 month ago

SmarterOps commented 1 month ago

I used to start working with Go, and I used string formatters a lot while studying, so I just watched a video tutorial for one of my questions, and the educator used %v to print all of the data types' values.

And, if we use the %v formatter to print all kinds, why are there so many string formatters in Golang?

  1. Different data types often require specific formatting. For example, %d is used for integers, %f for floating-point numbers, and %s for strings. This ensures that the output is clear and precise.

  2. Using specific formatters can make the output more readable. For example, %q formats a string with quotes, which can help distinguish it from other text.
