hdr-Scanning (Printers) in Go

Print, Println, and Printf lay out their arguments differently. In this example we can compare their behaviors. Println always adds blanks between the items it prints, while Print adds blanks only between non-string arguments and Printf does exactly what it is told. Sprint, Sprintln, Sprintf, Fprint, Fprintln, and Fprintf behave the same as their corresponding Print, Println, and Printf functions shown here.

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"math"
)

func main() {
	a, b := 3.0, 4.0
	h := math.Hypot(a, b)

	// Print inserts blanks between arguments when neither is a string.
	// It does not add a newline to the output, so we add one explicitly.
	fmt.Print("The vector (", a, b, ") has length ", h, ".\n")

	// Println always inserts spaces between its arguments,
	// so it cannot be used to produce the same output as Print in this case;
	// its output has extra spaces.
	// Also, Println always adds a newline to the output.
	fmt.Println("The vector (", a, b, ") has length", h, ".")

	// Printf provides complete control but is more complex to use.
	// It does not add a newline to the output, so we add one explicitly
	// at the end of the format specifier string.
	fmt.Printf("The vector (%g %g) has length %g.\n", a, b, h)
}
