strconv.AppendQuote()

The AppendQuote() function is an inbuilt function of the strconv package which is used to append the double-quoted Go string literal representing s (as generated by Quote() function), to dst and returns the extended buffer. Where dst is the first parameter of []byte type and s is the second parameter of string type.

It accepts two parameters (dst, s) and returns the extended buffer.

Syntax:

func AppendQuote(dst []byte, s string) []byte

Parameter(s):

• dst : A byte array (or byte slices) in which we have to append the double-quoted string.
• s : Quote appended.

Return Value:

The return type of AppendQuote() function is a []byte, it returns the extended buffer after appending the double-quoted string.

Example 1:

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// example of strconv.AppendQuote() Function

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strconv"
)

func main() {
	x := []byte("Quote:")
	fmt.Println("Before AppendQuote()")
	fmt.Println(string(x))

	// Appending a quote to the x
	x = strconv.AppendQuote(x, `"If you can dream it, you can do it."`)
	fmt.Println("After AppendQuote()")
	fmt.Println(string(x))
}

Output:

Before AppendQuote()
Quote:
After AppendQuote()
Quote:"\"If you can dream it, you can do it.\""

Example 2:

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// example of strconv.AppendQuote() Function

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strconv"
)

func main() {
	x := []byte("Quote:")
	fmt.Println("Before appending...")
	fmt.Println("x:", string(x))
	fmt.Println("Length(x): ", len(x))

	// Appending quotes to the x
	x = strconv.AppendQuote(x, `"If you can dream it, you can do it."`)
	x = strconv.AppendQuote(x, `"Aspire to inspire before we expire."`)

	fmt.Println("After appending...")
	fmt.Println("x:", string(x))
	fmt.Println("Length(x): ", len(x))
}

Output:

Before appending...
x: Quote:
Length(x):  6
After appending...
x: Quote:"\"If you can dream it, you can do it.\"""\"Aspire to inspire before we expire.\""
Length(x):  88
