strconv.FormatBool()

The FormatBool() function is an inbuilt function of the strconv package which is used to get "true" or "false" according to the given value of b. Where b is the bool type. Or, we can say that the FormatBool() function is used to convert a bool value to a string.

It accepts one parameter (b) and returns "true" or "false" according to the value of b.

Syntax:

func FormatBool(b bool) string

Parameter(s):

• b : A bool value which is to be used to get "true" or "false".

Return Value:

The return type of FormatBool() function is bool, it returns "true" or "false" according to the given value.

Example 1:

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

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strconv"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(strconv.FormatBool(true))
	fmt.Println(strconv.FormatBool(false))
}

Output:

true
false

Example 2:

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

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strconv"
)

func main() {
	var x bool
	var result string

	x = true
	result = strconv.FormatBool(x)
	fmt.Printf("x (Type: %T, Value: %v)\n", x, x)
	fmt.Printf("result (Type: %T, Value: %q)\n", result, result)

	x = false
	result = strconv.FormatBool(x)
	fmt.Printf("x (Type: %T, Value: %v)\n", x, x)
	fmt.Printf("result (Type: %T, Value: %q)\n", result, result)
}

Output:

x (Type: bool, Value: true)
result (Type: string, Value: "true")
x (Type: bool, Value: false)
result (Type: string, Value: "false")

Example 3:

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

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strconv"
)

func main() {
	yes := true
	no := false

	fmt.Println("Is she knowledgeable?", strconv.FormatBool(yes))
	fmt.Println("Is she healthy?", strconv.FormatBool(no))
}

Output:

Is she knowledgeable? true
Is she healthy? false
