I'm currently working with a bit of code at the moment, that involves a var with type []interface{}
It has values within it, that I could easily access like so:
//given that args is of type []interface{}
name := args[0]
age := args[1] //ect...
This is fine, but I'd like to be able to use the strings
Join
function, and it would typically error due to it requiring type []string
and not type []interface{}
.
What would be the most appropriate solution to be able to use the Join
function, I'd guess maybe some sort on conversion?
You need to construct a new array of type []string
in order to use strings.Join
:
import "fmt"
import "strings"
func main() {
s1 := []interface{}{"a", "b", "c"}
s2 := make([]string, len(s1))
for i, s := range s1 {
s2[i] = s.(string)
}
fmt.Println(strings.Join(s2, ", "))
}
See the related Golang FAQ entry: can I convert a []T to an []interface{}?
