String Formatting in Go
by yhuang Go fmt.Printf fmt fmt.Fprintf fmt.Println fmt.Sprintf
Go offers excellent support for string formatting in the printf tradition. Here are some examples of common string formatting tasks.
package main

    "os"
)

type point struct {
    x, y int
}

func main() {
  
    // In these examples we use fmt.Printf to directly output the result on stdout.
    // If you wanted to create a string result to be used in a different way,
    // you can use fmt.Sprintf instead.

    p := point{1, 2}
    fmt.Printf("%v\n", p)

    fmt.Printf("%+v\n", p)

    fmt.Printf("%#v\n", p)

    fmt.Printf("%T\n", p)

    fmt.Printf("%t\n", true)

    fmt.Printf("%d\n", 123)
