bytes.ContainsAny()

The ContainsAny() function is an inbuilt function of the bytes package which is used to check whether any of the UTF-8-encoded code points in the given chars are within byte slice b.

It accepts two parameters (b []byte, chars string) and returns true if any character from chars is within the byte slice b; false, otherwise.

Syntax:

func ContainsAny(b []byte, chars string) bool

Parameter(s):

• b : The main byte slice in which we have to check the chars.
• chars : The set of the characters (string) to be checked within the byte slice b.

Return Value:

The return type of the bytes.ContainsAny() function is a bool, it returns true if any character from chars is within the byte slice b; false, otherwise.

Example 1:

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// example of bytes.ContainsAny() function

package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	// Declaring byte slices
	// Assigning  UTF-8-encoded code points
	// of ABCD EF
	var a = []byte{65, 66, 67, 68, 32, 69, 70}

	// Checking whether chars are within []byte
	fmt.Println(bytes.ContainsAny(a, "ABC"))
	fmt.Println(bytes.ContainsAny(a, "D E"))
	fmt.Println(bytes.ContainsAny(a, "ABCD "))
	fmt.Println(bytes.ContainsAny(a, "XY D"))
	fmt.Println(bytes.ContainsAny(a, "XY"))
}

Output:

true
true
true
true
false

Example 2:

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// example of bytes.ContainsAny() function

package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(bytes.ContainsAny(
		[]byte("Hello, world!"), "Hi"))
	fmt.Println(bytes.ContainsAny(
		[]byte("Hello, world!"), "work!"))
	fmt.Println(bytes.ContainsAny(
		[]byte("Hello, world!"), "Hi!"))
	fmt.Println(bytes.ContainsAny(
		[]byte("Hello, world!"), "xy"))
}

Output:

true
true
true
false
