The Go standard library package strings provides utilities for working with strings: checking prefixes/suffixes, searching, splitting/joining, trimming, replacing, case conversion, and more.

string /strɪŋ/ = a sequence of characters (chuỗi ký tự)

standard library (stdlib) /ˈstændərd ˈlaɪbreri/ = thư viện chuẩn

Note: Go strings are UTF-8, but many strings functions operate on bytes (not “user-perceived characters”).

 import "strings" 

strings.HasPrefix(s, prefix) bool — reports whether s begins with prefix

strings.HasSuffix(s, suffix) bool — reports whether s ends with suffix

prefix /ˈpriːfɪks/ = tiền tố (đầu chuỗi)

suffix /ˈsʌfɪks/ = hậu tố (cuối chuỗi)

 strings.HasPrefix("golang", "go") // true strings.HasSuffix("golang", "ng") // true 

strings.Contains(s, substr) bool — checks if substr appears in s

strings.Index(s, substr) int — index of first occurrence, or -1

strings.LastIndex(s, substr) int — index of last occurrence, or -1

strings.Count(s, substr) int — number of non-overlapping instances of substr

contains /kənˈteɪnz/ = chứa

substring (substr) /ˈsʌbst.rɪŋ/ = chuỗi con

occurrence /əˈkɝː.ə.rəns/ = lần xuất hiện

non-overlapping /ˌnɒn ˌoʊvərˈlæpɪŋ/ = không chồng lấp

 strings.Contains("hello world", "world") // true strings.Index("banana", "na") // 2 strings.LastIndex("banana", "na") // 4 strings.Count("banana", "na") // 2 

strings.Split(s, sep) []string — splits s around each instance of sep

strings.SplitN(s, sep, n) []string — split into at most n parts

strings.Fields(s) []string — splits around consecutive whitespace

strings.Join(elems, sep) string — joins string slice with sep

split /splɪt/ = tách

separator (sep) /ˈsepəˌreɪtər/ = ký tự/chuỗi phân cách

fields /fiːldz/ = các “mảnh” tách theo khoảng trắng

join /dʒɔɪn/ = nối

 strings.Split("a,b,c", ",") // ["a","b","c"] strings.SplitN("a,b,c", ",", 2) // ["a","b,c"] strings.Fields(" hi go \n ok ") // ["hi","go","ok"] strings.Join([]string{"a","b","c"}, "-") // "a-b-c" 

strings.Replace(s, old, new, n) string — replaces up to n matches (-1 = all)

strings.ReplaceAll(s, old, new) string — replaces all matches

strings.Repeat(s, count) string — repeats s count times

replace /rɪˈpleɪs/ = thay thế

repeat /rɪˈpiːt/ = lặp lại

 strings.Replace("a a a", "a", "b", 2) // "b b a" strings.ReplaceAll("a a a", "a", "b") // "b b b" strings.Repeat("go", 3) // "gogogo" 

strings.TrimSpace(s) string — trims leading/trailing whitespace

strings.Trim(s, cutset) string — trims any leading/trailing Unicode code points in cutset

strings.TrimPrefix(s, prefix) string — removes prefix if present

strings.TrimSuffix(s, suffix) string — removes suffix if present`

trim /trɪm/ = cắt bỏ

whitespace /ˈwaɪt.speɪs/ = khoảng trắng (space/tab/newline)

cutset /ˈkʌtˌset/ = tập ký tự cần cắt

 strings.TrimSpace(" hello \n") // "hello" strings.Trim("...hello...", ".") // "hello" strings.TrimPrefix("https://a.com", "https://")// "a.com" strings.TrimSuffix("file.txt", ".txt") // "file" 

strings.ToLower(s) string — to lowercase

strings.ToUpper(s) string — to uppercase

strings.EqualFold(s, t) bool — case-insensitive equality (Unicode-aware)

lowercase /ˈloʊərˌkeɪs/ = chữ thường

uppercase /ˈʌpərˌkeɪs/ = chữ hoa

case-insensitive /ˌkeɪs ɪnˈsensɪtɪv/ = không phân biệt hoa thường

equality /ɪˈkwɒləti/ = sự bằng nhau

 strings.ToLower("GoLang") // "golang" strings.ToUpper("GoLang") // "GOLANG" strings.EqualFold("Go", "gO") // true 

strings.Builder — efficient incremental string construction

builder /ˈbɪldər/ = bộ xây dựng (dùng để nối chuỗi hiệu quả)

 var b strings.Builder b.WriteString("hello") b.WriteByte(' ') b.WriteString("world") s := b.String() // "hello world" 

Why use it?

Repeated + concatenation can create many intermediate strings.

Builder reduces allocations in loops.

concatenation /kənˌkætəˈneɪʃən/ = phép nối chuỗi

allocation /ˌæləˈkeɪʃən/ = cấp phát bộ nhớ

func IsHTTPS(url string) bool {
return strings.HasPrefix(url, "https://")
}

parts := strings.Split(strings.TrimSpace(input), ",")

normalized := strings.ToLower(strings.TrimSpace(s))

strings.Index returns byte index.

For complex Unicode character handling, you may need unicode/utf8 or converting to []rune.

strings.Trim(s, cutset) trims any of those characters, not the whole substring.

rune /ruːn/ = ký tự Unicode (trong Go)

pitfall /ˈpɪt.fɔːl/ = “bẫy” thường gặp
