How to convert Hexadecimal to Octal in Golang 1.20
In this video we are going to generate source code for the GoLang Program, How to convert Hexadecimal to Octal using chatGPT.
After generating we will verify and run the generated code.
IMPORTANT NOTE on SOURCE CODE: only source code that are acceptable by the youtube description box will be displayed.
##############SOURCE CODE#########################
package main
import (
"fmt"
"strconv"
"strings"
)
func hexadecimalToOctal(hexadecimal string) string {
decimal, _ := strconv.ParseInt(strings.ToUpper(hexadecimal), 16, 32)
return strconv.FormatInt(decimal, 8)
}
func main() {
hexadecimal := "1A7B"
octal := hexadecimalToOctal(hexadecimal)
fmt.Printf("Hexadecimal %s is equivalent to octal %s", hexadecimal, octal)
}
Below is the explanation for the program:
The hexadecimalToOctal function takes a hexadecimal string parameter hexadecimal and returns its octal representation as a string.
It does this by using the strconv.ParseInt function with a base of 16 to parse the hexadecimal string into a 32-bit integer, and then using the strconv.
FormatInt function with a base of 8 to convert the integer to an octal string.
In the main function, we call hexadecimalToOctal with the hexadecimal value "1A7B", and print the result using the fmt.Printf function.
You can change the value of hexadecimal to convert any other hexadecimal number to octal.
