Dear gophers,
I'd appreciate some help.
Given:
func main() {
r := 'a'
s := "a"
fmt.Println(r)
fmt.Println(s)
}
My very possibly incorrect understanding is that the rune r holds a Unicode
code-point encoded with UTF-8 and stored as integer value, in this case 97,
as type int32. s is of type string, and contains a code-point encoded by
UTF-8, but which will be stored in a slice of type byte (which will use
just one uint8 in this case). Assuming that is all correct, then my
questions are:
1. Will the rune / any rune always use 32 bits?
2. Why does printing r output the integer value, but printing s yield the
code-point itself?
Cheers for your help.
JC.
