Splitting the string using a specified delimiter in Golang

Problem Solution:

In this program, we will split a string based on the "-" delimiter using strings.Split() function and print result on the console screen.

Program/Source Code:

The source code to split the string using a specified delimiter is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

Golang code to split the string using a specified delimiter

// Golang program to split the string using a
// specified delimiter.

package main

import "fmt"
import "strings"

func main() {
	var str string = "India-is-a-great-country"
	var strArr []string = strings.Split(str, "-")

	fmt.Println("Splited string:")
	for i := 0; i < len(strArr); i++ {
		fmt.Println(strArr[i])
	}
}

Output:

Splited string:
India
is
a
great
country

Explanation:

In the above program, we declare the package main. The main package is used to tell the Go language compiler that the package must be compiled and produced the executable file. Here, we imported the fmt package that includes the files of package fmt then we can use a function related to the fmt package.

In the main() function, we created two variables str and strArr. Then we got the length of the string using strings.Split() function. Here, strings.Split() returns the array of strings and printed the result on the console screen.
