Printf, // Sprintf, and Fprintf all take a format string that specifies how to format the // subsequent arguments. For example, %d (we call that a 'verb') says to print the // corresponding argument, which must be an integer (or something containing an // integer, such as a slice of ints) in decimal. The verb %v ('v' for 'value') // always formats the argument in its default form, just how Print or Println would // show it. The special verb %T ('T' for 'Type') prints the type of the argument // rather than its value. The examples are not exhaustive; see the package comment // for all the details. func Example_formats() { // A basic set of examples showing that %v is the default format, in this // case decimal for integers, which can be explicitly requested with %d; // the output is just what Println generates. integer := 23 // Each of these prints "23" (without the quotes). fmt.Println(integer) fmt.Printf("%v\n", integer) fmt.Printf("%d\n", integer) // The special verb %T shows the type of an item rather than its value. fmt.Printf("%T %T\n", integer, &integer) // Result: int *int // Println(x) is the same as Printf("%v\n", x) so we will use only Printf // in the following examples. Each one demonstrates how to format values of // a particular type, such as integers or strings.
