Checking a slice of strings is sorted or not in Golang

Problem Solution:

In this program, we will create a slice and check the specified slice is sorted or not using StringsAreSorted() and print an appropriate message on the console screen.

Program/Source Code:

The source code to check a specified slice of strings is sorted or not is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

Golang code to check a specified slice of strings is sorted or not

// Golang program to check a specified slice of strings
// is sorted or not

package main

import "fmt"
import "sort"

func main() {
	var status bool = false
	slice := []string{"honesty ", "is ", "the ", "best ", "policy"}

	status = sort.StringsAreSorted(slice)
	if status == true {
		fmt.Println("Slice is sorted")
	} else {
		fmt.Println("Slice is not sorted")
	}
}

Output:

Slice is not sorted

Explanation:

In the above program, we declare the package main. The main package is used to tell the Go language compiler that the package must be compiled and produced the executable file. Here, we imported the fmt package that includes the files of package fmt then we can use a function related to the fmt package.

In the above program, we also imported the sort package to use StringsAreSorted() function to sort integer slice.

In the main() function, we created a slice of strings, then we checked slice is sorted or not using the StringsAreSorted() function and then print the appropriate message on the console screen.
