Easy Comparisions in Go
This library provides a number of helper functions that compare values of different or unknown data types. It works around some of Go's more annoying issues with generics, and will probably be simplified or eliminated once the final generic proposals land in a stable release.
Interface(value1, value2) int
Pass any two values into this function and it will attempt to convert them into comparable data types.
If value1 < value2, it returns -1 If value1 == value2, it returns 0 If value1 > value2, it returns 1
IntXX Functions
This is a series of functions Int()
Int8()
Int16()
Int32()
Int64()
that compare similar values of their corresponding types.
FloatXX Functions
This is a series of functions Float32()
Float64()
that compare similar values of their corresponding types.
String Functions
There are several string comparison functions as well.
String()
compares two string values with the same signatures as above
BeginsWith()
returns true if a string begins with a certain value
Contains()
returns true if a string contains a certain value
EndsWith()
returns true if a string ends with a certain value
