Example

The following code shows how to use the strconv.Quote() function in Go.

Note: To use the Quote() function, we must first import the strconv package into our program.

// Golang program 
// Using strconv.Quote() Function
package main
import (
	"fmt"
	"strconv"
)
func main() {
  // declare a variable of string type
  var str string
  // assign value
  str = `"Keep Coding ☺"`
  // Quote() function returns a double-quoted Go 
  // string literal representing the str value
	fmt.Println(strconv.Quote(str))
  // reassign value 
  str = `"Golang is statically typed "`
  // Quote() function returns a double-quoted Go 
  //string literal representing the str value
	fmt.Println(strconv.Quote(str))
}
