Sorting with Go's sort package
Go’s sort package implements sorting for builtins and user-defined types.
package main
import (
"fmt"
"sort"
)
func main() {
// Sort methods are specific to the builtin type; here’s an example for strings.
// Note that sorting is in-place, so it changes the given slice and doesn’t return a new one.
strs := []string{"c", "a", "b"}
sort.Strings(strs)
fmt.Println("Strings:", strs)
// Sorting ints.
ints := []int{7, 2, 4}
sort.Ints(ints)
fmt.Println("Ints: ", ints)
// We can also use sort to check if a slice is already in sorted order.
s := sort.IntsAreSorted(ints)
fmt.Println("Sorted: ", s)
}
