strings.ContainsRune()

The ContainsRune() function is an inbuilt function of strings package which is used to check whether the string contains the given Unicode code point, it accepts two parameters – the first parameter is the string in which we have to check the Unicode code point and the second parameter is the Unicode code point to be checked. It returns a Boolean value. The result will be true if the string contains the Unicode code point, false otherwise.

• str : String in which we have to check the Unicode code point.
• r : Unicode code point value to be checked.

Return Value

The return type of ContainsRune() function is a bool, it returns true if str contains the r, false otherwise.

Example 1

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// example of strings.ContainsRune() Function

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	// 72 is the Unicode code point value for 'H' (Uppercase)
	// 119 is the Unicode code point value for 'w' (Lowercase)
	// 97 is the Unicode code point value for 'a' (Lowercase)

	fmt.Println(strings.ContainsRune("Hello, world!", 72))
	fmt.Println(strings.ContainsRune("Hello, world!", 119))
	fmt.Println(strings.ContainsRune("Hello, world!", 97))
}

Output:

true
true
false

Example 2

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// example of strings.ContainsRune() Function

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	var str1 string = "New Delhi, India"
	var str2 string = "Los Angeles, California"
	var rune_value rune

	rune_value = 119 // for Lowercase 'w'
	if strings.ContainsRune(str1, rune_value) == true {
		fmt.Printf("\"%s\" contains %d ('%c')\n", str1, rune_value, rune_value)
	} else {
		fmt.Printf("\"%s\" does not contain %d ('%c')\n", str1, rune_value, rune_value)
	}

	if strings.ContainsRune(str2, rune_value) == true {
		fmt.Printf("\"%s\" contains %d ('%c')\n", str2, rune_value, rune_value)
	} else {
		fmt.Printf("\"%s\" does not contain %d ('%c')\n", str2, rune_value, rune_value)
	}

	rune_value = 103 // for Lowercase 'g'
	if strings.ContainsRune(str1, rune_value) == true {
		fmt.Printf("\"%s\" contains %d ('%c')\n", str1, rune_value, rune_value)
	} else {
		fmt.Printf("\"%s\" does not contain %d ('%c')\n", str1, rune_value, rune_value)
	}

	if strings.ContainsRune(str2, rune_value) == true {
		fmt.Printf("\"%s\" contains %d ('%c')\n", str2, rune_value, rune_value)
	} else {
		fmt.Printf("\"%s\" does not contain %d ('%c')\n", str2, rune_value, rune_value)
	}
}

Output:

"New Delhi, India" contains 119 ('w')
"Los Angeles, California" does not contain 119 ('w')
"New Delhi, India" does not contain 103 ('g')
"Los Angeles, California" contains 103 ('g')
