func Compare 1.5
func Compare(a, b string) int
Compare returns an integer comparing two strings lexicographically. The result will be 0 if a==b, -1 if a < b, and +1 if a > b.
Compare is included only for symmetry with package bytes. It is usually clearer and always faster to use the built-in string comparison operators ==, <, >, and so on.

Count counts the number of non-overlapping instances of substr in s. If substr is an empty string, Count returns 1 + the number of Unicode code points in s.
▹ Example
▾ Example

func EqualFold
func EqualFold(s, t string) bool
EqualFold reports whether s and t, interpreted as UTF-8 strings, are equal under Unicode case-folding, which is a more general form of case-insensitivity.
▹ Example
▾ Example

func Fields
func Fields(s string) []string
Fields splits the string s around each instance of one or more consecutive white space characters, as defined by unicode.IsSpace, returning a slice of substrings of s or an empty slice if s contains only white space.
▹ Example
▾ Example
Fields are: ["foo" "bar" "baz"]
func FieldsFunc
func FieldsFunc(s string, f func(rune) bool) []string
FieldsFunc splits the string s at each run of Unicode code points c satisfying f(c) and returns an array of slices of s. If all code points in s satisfy f(c) or the string is empty, an empty slice is returned.
FieldsFunc makes no guarantees about the order in which it calls f(c) and assumes that f always returns the same value for a given c.
▹ Example
▾ Example
Fields are: ["foo1" "bar2" "baz3"]
func HasPrefix
func HasPrefix(s, prefix string) bool
HasPrefix tests whether the string s begins with prefix.

func IndexRune
func IndexRune(s string, r rune) int

func Map
func Map(mapping func(rune) rune, s string) string
Map returns a copy of the string s with all its characters modified according to the mapping function. If mapping returns a negative value, the character is dropped from the string with no replacement.
▹ Example
▾ Example

func Repeat
func Repeat(s string, count int) string
Repeat returns a new string consisting of count copies of the string s.
It panics if count is negative or if the result of (len(s) * count) overflows.
▹ Example
▾ Example

func Replace
func Replace(s, old, new string, n int) string
Replace returns a copy of the string s with the first n non-overlapping instances of old replaced by new. If old is empty, it matches at the beginning of the string and after each UTF-8 sequence, yielding up to k+1 replacements for a k-rune string. If n < 0, there is no limit on the number of replacements.
▹ Example
▾ Example
oinky oinky oink
moo moo moo
func ReplaceAll 1.12
func ReplaceAll(s, old, new string) string
ReplaceAll returns a copy of the string s with all non-overlapping instances of old replaced by new. If old is empty, it matches at the beginning of the string and after each UTF-8 sequence, yielding up to k+1 replacements for a k-rune string.
▹ Example

func Split
func Split(s, sep string) []string
Split slices s into all substrings separated by sep and returns a slice of the substrings between those separators.
If s does not contain sep and sep is not empty, Split returns a slice of length 1 whose only element is s.
If sep is empty, Split splits after each UTF-8 sequence. If both s and sep are empty, Split returns an empty slice.
It is equivalent to SplitN with a count of -1.
▹ Example
▾ Example
["a" "b" "c"]
["" "man " "plan " "canal panama"]
[" " "x" "y" "z" " "]
[""]
func SplitAfter
func SplitAfter(s, sep string) []string
SplitAfter slices s into all substrings after each instance of sep and returns a slice of those substrings.
If s does not contain sep and sep is not empty, SplitAfter returns a slice of length 1 whose only element is s.
If sep is empty, SplitAfter splits after each UTF-8 sequence. If both s and sep are empty, SplitAfter returns an empty slice.
It is equivalent to SplitAfterN with a count of -1.
▹ Example
▾ Example
["a," "b," "c"]
func SplitAfterN
func SplitAfterN(s, sep string, n int) []string
SplitAfterN slices s into substrings after each instance of sep and returns a slice of those substrings.
The count determines the number of substrings to return:
n > 0: at most n substrings; the last substring will be the unsplit remainder.
n == 0: the result is nil (zero substrings)
n < 0: all substrings
Edge cases for s and sep (for example, empty strings) are handled as described in the documentation for SplitAfter.
▹ Example
▾ Example
["a," "b,c"]
func SplitN
func SplitN(s, sep string, n int) []string
SplitN slices s into substrings separated by sep and returns a slice of the substrings between those separators.
The count determines the number of substrings to return:
n > 0: at most n substrings; the last substring will be the unsplit remainder.
n == 0: the result is nil (zero substrings)
n < 0: all substrings
Edge cases for s and sep (for example, empty strings) are handled as described in the documentation for Split.
▹ Example
▾ Example
["a" "b,c"]
[] (nil = true)
