unicode.To()

The To() function is an inbuilt function of the unicode package which is used to map the given rune r to the specified case (unicode.UpperCase, unicode.LowerCase, or unicode.TitleCase) i.e., the To() function converts the given rune value to the specified case.

It accepts two parameters (_case int, r rune) and returns the value mapped to the specified case.

Syntax:

func To(_case int, r rune) rune

Parameter(s):

• _case : Specified case in which we have to map the given rune value, it can be unicode.UpperCase, unicode.LowerCase, or unicode.TitleCase .
• r : Rune type value to be mapped in the specified case (_case).

Return Value:

The return type of the unicode.To() function is a rune, it returns the value mapped to the specified case.

Example 1:

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// example of unicode.To() Function

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"unicode"
)

func main() {
	// constant with mixed type runes
	const mixed = "Hello, world!"

	fmt.Println("UpperCase:")
	for _, c := range mixed {
		fmt.Printf("%c", unicode.To(unicode.UpperCase, c))
	}
	fmt.Println()

	fmt.Println("LowerCase:")
	for _, c := range mixed {
		fmt.Printf("%c", unicode.To(unicode.LowerCase, c))
	}
	fmt.Println()

	fmt.Println("TitleCase:")
	for _, c := range mixed {
		fmt.Printf("%c", unicode.To(unicode.TitleCase, c))
	}
}

Output:

UpperCase:
HELLO, WORLD!
LowerCase:
hello, world!
TitleCase:
HELLO, WORLD!

Example 2:

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// example of unicode.ToLower() Function

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"unicode"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Printf("%#U\n", unicode.ToLower('Q'))
	fmt.Printf("%#U\n", unicode.ToLower('q'))
	fmt.Printf("%#U\n", unicode.ToLower('R'))
	fmt.Printf("%#U\n", unicode.ToLower('Ä'))
}

Output:

U+0071 'q'
U+0071 'q'
U+0072 'r'
U+00E4 'ä'
