Golang String ContainsRune() function returns true if the given string contains the specified rune in it, or ContainsRune() function returns false if the given string does not include the specified rune. It is defined under the string package so, and you have to import string package in your program for accessing the ContainsRune() function.
Golang String ContainsRune()
Golang String ContainsRune() is a built-in function that checks whether the Unicode code point r is within the string. To check the specified rune in Golang String, then use the Golang ContainsRune() function.
Syntax
func ContainsRune(s string, r rune) bool
Parameters
The function takes two parameters.
Here, the s is the string, and r is the s rune. The return type of the function is bool.
Example
// hello.go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"strings"
)
func main() {
// Finds whether a string contains a particular Unicode code point.
// The code point for the lowercase letter "a", for example, is 97.
fmt.Println(strings.ContainsRune("appdividend", 97))
fmt.Println(strings.ContainsRune("zerox", 97))
}
Output
go run hello.go true false
In the above example, the appdividend string contains the rune 97 because a’s Unicode code point is 97. So it returns true.
In the second example, zerox string does not contain the 97 Unicode Point Rune because it does not have character a in the string. That is why it returns false.
Example 2
// hello.go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"strings"
)
func main() {
// Creating and initializing a string
// Using shorthand declaration
s1 := "The Most Dangerous Game"
s2 := "Quibi"
s3 := "AppDividend!"
// Creating and initializing rune
var r1, r2, r3 rune
r1 = 'R'
r2 = 105
r3 = 33
// Check the given string
// containing the rune
// Using ContainsRune function
res1 := strings.ContainsRune(s1, r1)
res2 := strings.ContainsRune(s2, r2)
res3 := strings.ContainsRune(s3, r3)
// Display the results
fmt.Printf("String 1: %s , Rune 1: %q , Present: %t",
s1, r1, res1)
fmt.Printf("\nString 2: %s , Rune 2: %q , Present: %t",
s2, r2, res2)
fmt.Printf("\nString 3: %s , Rune 3: %q , Present: %t",
s3, r3, res3)
}
Output
go run hello.go String 1: The Most Dangerous Game , Rune 1: 'R' , Present: false String 2: Quibi , Rune 2: 'i' , Present: true String 3: AppDividend! , Rune 3: '!' , Present: true
The above example explains itself. First, we have defined the three strings and then three Runes.
Then we are checking the rune against the string using ContainsRune() function and then display the results by displaying string, rune, and result.
That’s it for this tutorial.
 checks whether the Unicode code point r is within the string. It returns true if the given string contains the specified rune.){kind=link}
