Rat.Scan in Go
Scan is a support routine for fmt.Scanner. It accepts the formats 'e', 'E', 'f', 'F', 'g', 'G', and 'v'. All formats are equivalent.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"log"
"math/big"
)
func main() {
// The Scan function is rarely used directly;
// the fmt package recognizes it as an implementation of fmt.Scanner.
r := new(big.Rat)
_, err := fmt.Sscan("1.5000", r)
if err != nil {
log.Println("error scanning value:", err)
} else {
fmt.Println(r)
}
}
