Golang : Convert(cast) int to float example
Problem :
You have a variable of type int and you want to convert/type cast it to float64 type. Also, you want to use reflect
to confirm the variable type after conversion.
Solution :
Type cast the integer variable with float32(single precision floating point) or float64 and use reflect.TypeOf()
function to confirm.
For example :
package main
import (
"fmt"
"reflect"
)
func main() {
var intValue int = 1088
var floatValue float64 = float64(intValue)
fmt.Println(intValue)
fmt.Printf("The type of intValue is %v \n", reflect.TypeOf(intValue))
fmt.Println(floatValue)
fmt.Printf("The type of floatValue is %v \n", reflect.TypeOf(floatValue))
}
Output :
1088
The type of intValue is int
1088
The type of floatValue is float64
