What is the strconv.ParseInt() Function in Golang

by

Golang strconv.ParseInt() function “converts the given string to an integer value in the provided base (0, 2 to 36) and bit size (0 to 64)”.

Syntax

func ParseInt(str string, base int, bitSize int) (i int64, err error)

Parameters

  1. str: String to be converted into an integer number.
  2. base: The base value of the given value. It can range from 0, 2, to 36.
  3. bitSize: It specifies the integer type, such as int(0), int8(8), int16(16), int32(32), and int64(64).

Return value

The strconv.ParseInt() function returns a pair of values: the converted integer and an error. If the conversion is successful, the error will be nil. If the conversion fails, the error will contain a description of the error.

Example 1

package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "strconv"
)

func main() {
  str := "1921"
  i, err := strconv.ParseInt(str, 10, 64)
  if err != nil {
    fmt.Println(err)
    return
  }
  
  fmt.Println(i)
}

Output

1921

Example 2

package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "strconv"
)

func main() {
  fmt.Println(strconv.ParseInt("65535", 10, 32))
  fmt.Println(strconv.ParseInt("+65535", 10, 32))
  fmt.Println(strconv.ParseInt("-65535", 10, 32))
  fmt.Println()

  fmt.Println(strconv.ParseInt("101010", 2, 32))
  fmt.Println(strconv.ParseInt("-111111", 2, 32))
  fmt.Println(strconv.ParseInt("00001111000", 2, 32))
  fmt.Println(strconv.ParseInt("-11111111111", 2, 64))
  fmt.Println()

  fmt.Println(strconv.ParseInt("65535", 16, 32))
  fmt.Println(strconv.ParseInt("12ffcc", 16, 32))
  fmt.Println(strconv.ParseInt("fafafa", 16, 64))
  fmt.Println(strconv.ParseInt("ffffff", 16, 64))

  str := "19KBKL21"
  fmt.Println(strconv.ParseInt(str, 2, 32))
  fmt.Println(strconv.ParseInt(str, 16, 64))
  fmt.Println()
}

Output

65535 <nil>
65535 <nil>
-65535 <nil>

42 <nil>
-63 <nil>
120 <nil>
-2047 <nil>

415029 <nil>
1245132 <nil>
16448250 <nil>
16777215 <nil>
