Closures and Anonymous Functions in Go. Anonymous Function A function literal is written like a function declaration, but without a name following the func keyword. It is an expression, and its value is called an anonymous function. package main import "fmt" // squares returns a function that returns // the next square number each time it is called. func squares() func() int { var x int return func() int { x++ return x * x } } func main() { f := squares() fmt.Println(f()) // "1" fmt.Println(f()) // "4" fmt.Println(f()) // "9" fmt.Println(f()) // "16" } $ go run main.go 1 4 9 16 Examples Passing arguments to anonymous functions. package main import "fmt" // Assigning function to the variable var ( area = func(i1, i2 int) int { return i1 * i2 } ) func main() { func(i1, i2 int) { fmt.Println(i1 + i2) }(4, 5) fmt.Println(area(3, 4)) } $ go run main.go 9 12

Testing the equivalence of maps in Go. reflect.DeepEqual Function It first checks if both maps are nil, then it checks if they have the same length before finally checking to see if they have the same set of (key, value) pairs. package main import ( "fmt" "reflect" ) func main() { m1 := map[string]int{ "a": 1, "b": 2, } m2 := map[string]int{ "b": 2, "a": 1, } m3 := map[string]int{ "b": 3, "c": 2, } fmt.Println(reflect.DeepEqual(m1, m2)) // true fmt.Println(reflect.DeepEqual(m1, m3)) // false } $ go run main.go true false Comparison To test whether two maps contain the same keys and the same associated values, we must write a loop: package main import ( "fmt" ) func main() { m1 := map[string]int{ "a": 1, "b": 2, } m2 := map[string]int{ "b": 2, "a": 1, } m3 := map[string]int{ "b": 3, "c": 2, } fmt.Println(EqualMap(m1, m2)) // true fmt.Println(EqualMap(m1, m3)) // false } func EqualMap(x, y map[string]int) bool { if len(x) != len(y) { return false } for k, xv := range x { if yv, ok := y[k]; !ok || yv != xv { return false } } return true } $ go run main.go true false Benchmark After running the benchmark, we receive the following results: func BenchmarkEqualMap(b *testing.B) { for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ { EqualMap(m1, m3) // false // reflect.DeepEqual(m1, m3) } } $ go test -bench=. --count=1 EqualMap 47.59 ns/op DeepEqual 493.80 ns/op

Working with Constants and iota in Go. The Constant Generator iota Here’s an example from the time package, which defines named constants of type Weekday for the days of the week, starting with zero for Sunday. Types of this kind are often called enu- merations, or enums for short. package main import "fmt" type Weekday int const ( Sunday Weekday = iota Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday ) func main() { fmt.Println("Sunday", Sunday) fmt.Println("Monday", Monday) fmt.Println("Saturday", Saturday) } $ go run main.go Sunday 0 Monday 1 Saturday 6 The value of iota is still incremented for every entry in a constant list even if iota is not used: package main import "fmt" const ( C0 = iota + 1 // Start from one C1 = iota C2 = iota _ C4 = iota // Skip value ) func main() { fmt.Println(C0, C1, C2, C4) // "1 1 2 4" } $ go run main.go 1 1 2 4 Iota example As a more complex example of iota, this declaration names the powers of 1024: package main import "fmt" const ( _ = 1 << (10 * iota) KiB // 1024 MiB // 1048576 GiB // 1073741824 TiB // 1099511627776 (exceeds 1 << 32) PiB // 1125899906842624 EiB // 1152921504606846976 ZiB // 1180591620717411303424 (exceeds 1 << 64) YiB // 1208925819614629174706176 ) func main() { fmt.Printf("KiB: %d\n", KiB) fmt.Printf("PiB: %d\n", PiB) } $ go run main.go KiB: 1024 PiB: 1125899906842624

Golang bytes.Buffer Examples Examples of Golang bytes.Buffer The bytes package provides the Buffer type for efficient manipulation of byte slices. A Buffer starts out empty but grows as data of types like string, byte, and []byte are written to it. Make a main.go file containing the following: package main import ( "bytes" "fmt" ) func main() { // New Buffer. var b bytes.Buffer // Write strings to the Buffer. b.WriteString("bytes") b.WriteString(".") b.WriteString("Buffer") // Convert to a string and print it. fmt.Println(b.String()) } $ go run main.go bytes.Buffer As the example below shows, a bytes.Buffer variable requires no initialization because its zero value is usable: package main import ( "bytes" "fmt" ) // IntsToStr is like fmt.Sprintf(values) but adds commas. func IntsToStr(values []int) string { var buf bytes.Buffer buf.WriteByte('[') for i, v := range values { if i > 0 { buf.WriteString(", ") } fmt.Fprintf(&buf, "%d", v) } buf.WriteByte(']') return buf.String() } func main() { fmt.Println(IntsToStr([]int{4, 5, 6, 7})) fmt.Println(IntsToStr([]int{})) } $ go run main.go [4, 5, 6, 7] [] Reusing bytes.Buffer You can use code like this: package main import ( "bytes" "fmt" ) var buf bytes.Buffer func reuseValue(n int, s string) []byte { buf.Reset() for i := 0; i < n; i++ { buf.WriteString(s) } return buf.Bytes() } func main() { fmt.Println(string(reuseValue(4, "a"))) fmt.Println(string(reuseValue(4, "ab"))) fmt.Println(string(reuseValue(4, "cc"))) } $ go run main.go aaaa abababab cccccccc

Formatting float to currency string in Go. Using localized formatting Use golang.org/x/text/message to print using localized formatting for any language in the Unicode CLDR. Make a main.go file containing the following: package main import ( "golang.org/x/text/language" "golang.org/x/text/message" ) func main() { p := message.NewPrinter(language.English) p.Printf("%v\n", 1000) p.Printf("%v\n", 1000.02) } $ go run main.go 1,000 1,000.02 A classic example of recursion The argument to comma is a string. If its length is less than or equal to 3, no comma is neces- sary. Otherwise, comma calls itself recursively with a substring consisting of all but the last three characters, and appends a comma and the last three characters to the result of the recur- sive call. package main import ( "fmt" "strings" ) func main() { fmt.Println(comma("-100")) fmt.Println(comma("1000")) fmt.Println(comma("1000.02")) fmt.Println(comma(".020")) } // comma inserts commas in a non-negative decimal integer string. func comma(s string) string { neg := "" if s[0:1] == "-" { neg = "-" s = s[1:] } end := strings.Index(s, ".") point := "" if end >= 0 { point = s[end:] s = s[0:end] } n := len(s) if n <= 3 { return neg + s + point } return neg + comma(s[:n-3]) + "," + s[n-3:] + point } $ go run main.go -100 1,000 1,000.02 .020

Golang path and filepath Examples. Using filepath.Base The number is the index of the last slash in the string. If you want to get the file's base name, use filepath.Base: package main import ( "fmt" "path/filepath" ) func main() { path := "a/b.c.go" fmt.Println(filepath.Base(path)) // b.c.go } $ go run main.go b.c.go Using filepath.Split Split splits path immediately following the final Separator, separating it into a directory and file name component. package main import ( "fmt" "path/filepath" ) func main() { path := "a/b.c.go" _, file := filepath.Split(path) fmt.Println(file) // b.c.go } $ go run main.go b.c.go The basename Function The basename function below was inspired by the Unix shell utility of the same name. In our version, basename(s) removes any prefix of s that looks like a file system path with com- ponents separated by slashes, and it removes any suffix that looks like a file type: package main import ( "fmt" ) func main() { fmt.Println(basename("a/b.c.go")) // b.c fmt.Println(basename("a.c.go")) // a.c fmt.Println(basename("abc")) // abc } // basename removes directory components and a .suffix. // e.g., a => a, a.go => a, a/b/c.go => c, a/b.c.go => b.c func basename(s string) string { // Discard last '/' and everything before. for i := len(s) - 1; i >= 0; i-- { if s[i] == '/' { s = s[i+1:] break } } // Preserve everything before last '.'. for i := len(s) - 1; i >= 0; i-- { if s[i] == '.' { s = s[:i] break } } return s } $ go run main.go b.c a.c abc A simpler version uses the strings.LastIndex library function: package main import ( "fmt" "strings" ) func main() { fmt.Println(basename("a/b.c.go")) // b.c fmt.Println(basename("a.c.go")) // a.c fmt.Println(basename("abc")) // abc } func basename(s string) string { slash := strings.LastIndex(s, "/") // -1 if "/" not found s = s[slash+1:] if dot := strings.LastIndex(s, "."); dot >= 0 { s = s[:dot] } return s } $ go run main.go b.c a.c abc

Calculate degrees celcius from farenheit in Go. Following program shows you how to convert fahrenheit to celsius. The function FToC below encapsu- lates the temperature conversion logic so that it is defined only once but may be used from multiple places. Here main calls it twice, using the values of two different local constants: package main import "fmt" func main() { const freezingF, boilingF = 32.0, 212.0 fmt.Printf("%g°F = %g°C\n", freezingF, FToC(freezingF)) // "32°F = 0°C" fmt.Printf("%g°F = %g°C\n", boilingF, FToC(boilingF)) // "212°F = 100°C" } func FToC(f float64) float64 { return (f - 32) * 5 / 9 } $ go run main.go 32°F = 0°C 212°F = 100°C

Understanding Rune in Go. UTF-8 Decoder The unicode/utf8 package provides one that we can use like this: package main import ( "fmt" "unicode/utf8" ) func main() { s := "Hello, 世界" for i := 0; i < len(s); { r, size := utf8.DecodeRuneInString(s[i:]) fmt.Printf("%d\t%c\n", i, r) i += size } } $ go run main.go 0 H 1 e 2 l 3 l 4 o 5 , 6 7 世 10 界 Go’s Range Loop A range loop decodes a UTF-8-encoded string. package main import ( "fmt" ) func main() { s := "Hello, 世界" for i, r := range s { fmt.Printf("%d\t%q\t%d\n", i, r, r) } } $ go run main.go 0 'H' 72 1 'e' 101 2 'l' 108 3 'l' 108 4 'o' 111 5 ',' 44 6 ' ' 32 7 '世' 19990 10 '界' 30028 We could use a simple range loop to count the number of runes in a string, like this: package main import ( "fmt" "unicode/utf8" ) func main() { s := "Hello, 世界" n := 0 for range s { n++ } fmt.Println("Count ::", n) // Or we can just call utf8.RuneCountInString(s). fmt.Println("Count ::", utf8.RuneCountInString(s)) } $ go run main.go Count :: 9 Count :: 9 A []rune Conversion A []rune conversion applied to a UTF-8-encoded string returns the sequence of Unicode code points that the string encodes: package main import ( "fmt" ) func main() { // "program" in Japanese katakana s := "こんにちは" fmt.Printf("% x\n", s) // "e3 81 93 e3 82 93 e3 81 ab e3 81 a1 e3 81 af" r := []rune(s) fmt.Printf("%x\n", r) // "[3053 3093 306b 3061 306f]" fmt.Println(string(r)) fmt.Println(string(0x306f)) // "は" } $ go run main.go e3 81 93 e3 82 93 e3 81 ab e3 81 a1 e3 81 af [3053 3093 306b 3061 306f] こんにちは は

Introduction to Strings in Go. What is a String? A string is an immutable sequence of bytes. Strings may contain arbitrary data, including bytes with value 0, but usually they contain human-readable text. Make a main.go file containing the following: package main import "fmt" func main() { s := "Hello, 世界" fmt.Println(len(s)) // "13" fmt.Println(utf8.RuneCountInString(s)) // "9" fmt.Println(s[0], s[7]) // "72 228" ('H', '\x8c') // panic: index out of range // c := s[len(s)] fmt.Println(s[0:5]) // "Hello" fmt.Println(s[:5]) // "Hello" fmt.Println(s[7:]) // "世界" fmt.Println(s[8:]) // "??界" fmt.Println(s[:]) // "Hello, 世界" // "世界" // "\xe4\xb8\x96\xe7\x95\x8c" // "\u4e16\u754c" // "\U00004e16\U0000754c" } $ go run main.go 13 9 72 228 Hello Hello 世界 ??界 Hello, 世界 All escape characters Within a double-quoted string literal, escape sequences that begin with a backslash \ can be used to insert arbitrary byte values into the string. \a ‘‘alert’’ or bell \b backspace \f form feed \n newline \r carriage return \t tab \v vertical tab \' single quote (only in the rune literal '\'') \" double quote (only within "..." literals) \\ backslash Multiline strings Simply use the backtick (`) character when declaring or assigning your string value. package main import "fmt" func main() { s := `This is a multiline string.` fmt.Println(s) } $ go run main.go This is a multiline string.

An example program using numbers. Integers And Floating Point Numbers Go has several different types to represent numbers. Generally we split numbers into two different kinds: integers and floating-point numbers. Make a main.go file containing the following: package main import "fmt" func main() { fmt.Println("1 + 2 =", 1+2) // a floating point number fmt.Println("1 + 2 =", 1.0+2.0) } $ go run main.go 1 + 2 = 3 1 + 2 = 3 In addition to addition Go has several other operators: package main import "fmt" func main() { fmt.Println("5 + 3 =", 5+3) // subtraction fmt.Println("5 - 3 =", 5-3) // multiplication fmt.Println("5 * 3 =", 5*3) // division fmt.Println("5 / 3 =", 5/3) // remainder fmt.Println("5 % 3 =", 5%3) } $ go run main.go 5 + 3 = 8 5 - 3 = 2 5 * 3 = 15 5 / 3 = 1 5 % 3 = 2 Golang max int To get the maximum value of the int64 type, use math.MaxInt64 constant. package main import ( "fmt" "math" ) func main() { fmt.Println("int64 max:", math.MaxInt64) // based on the platform you are executing maxInt := int(^uint(0) >> 1) fmt.Println("int max:", maxInt) } $ go run main.go int64 max: 9223372036854775807 int max: 9223372036854775807

In Rust, there are 2 ways to sort a vector. Using sort Method The sort(&mut self) method sorts the slice. This sort is stable (i.e., does not reorder equal elements) and O(n * log(n)) worst-case. For example, fn main() { let mut v = [3, -5, 2, 6, 1]; v.sort(); println!("{:?}", v); let mut s = ["b", "d", "c", "a"]; s.sort(); println!("{:?}", s); } [-5, 1, 2, 3, 6] ["a", "b", "c", "d"] Using sort_by Method The sort_by(&mut self, compare: F) method sorts the slice with a comparator function. The comparator function must define a total ordering for the elements in the slice. If the ordering is not total, the order of the elements is unspecified. For example, fn main() { let mut v = [5, 4, 1, 3, 2]; v.sort_by(|a, b| a.cmp(b)); println!("{:?}", v); let mut s = ["b", "d", "c", "a"]; s.sort_by(|a, b| b.cmp(a)); println!("{:?}", s); } [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] ["d", "c", "b", "a"]

In Golang, there are 2 ways to check if a slice contains an element. Using contains Function The following example should cover whatever you are trying to do: package main import "fmt" func Contains[E comparable](s []E, v E) bool { for _, vs := range s { if vs == v { return true } } return false } func main() { s := []string{"Gopher", "Alice", "Bob"} fmt.Println(Contains(s, "Bob")) fmt.Println(Contains(s, "bob")) } true false Using slices.Contains Function Starting with Go 1.18, you can use the slices package – specifically the generic Contains function: package main import ( "fmt" "golang.org/x/exp/slices" ) func main() { s := []string{"Gopher", "Alice", "Bob"} b := slices.Contains(s, "Bob") fmt.Println(b) b = slices.Contains(s, "bob") fmt.Println(b) } true false

In Golang, using the sort.Slice function is the easiest way to sort a slice Using Slice Function You simply pass an anonymous function to the sort.Slice function： package main import ( "fmt" "sort" ) func main() { s := []string{"Houston", "Atlanta", "Boston"} sort.Slice(s, func(i, j int) bool { return s[i] < s[j] }) fmt.Println(s) a := []int{6, 4, 2} sort.Slice(a, func(i, j int) bool { return a[i] < a[j] }) fmt.Println(a) } [Atlanta Boston Houston] [2 4 6] Slice sorts the slice x given the provided less function. It panics if x is not a slice. See the following example: package main import ( "fmt" "sort" ) func main() { people := []struct { Name string Age int }{ {"Gopher", 7}, {"Alice", 55}, {"Vera", 24}, {"Bob", 75}, } sort.Slice(people, func(i, j int) bool { return people[i].Name < people[j].Name }) fmt.Println("By name:", people) sort.Slice(people, func(i, j int) bool { return people[i].Age < people[j].Age }) fmt.Println("By age:", people) } By name: [{Alice 55} {Bob 75} {Gopher 7} {Vera 24}] By age: [{Gopher 7} {Vera 24} {Alice 55} {Bob 75}]

In Golang, there are 2 ways to check string is in json format. Using Unmarshal Function The following example should cover whatever you are trying to do: package main import ( "encoding/json" "fmt" ) func isJson(s string) bool { var js json.RawMessage return json.Unmarshal([]byte(s), &js) == nil } func isQuotedJson(s string) bool { var js map[string]interface{} return json.Unmarshal([]byte(s), &js) == nil } func main() { s := `{"key":"value"}` b := isJson(s) fmt.Println(b) b = isQuotedJson(s) fmt.Println(b) } true true Using Standard Library Function Standard encoding/json library contains json.Valid function starting from go 1.9. This function may be used for checking whether the provided string is a valid json: package main import ( "encoding/json" "fmt" ) func main() { s := `{"key":"value"}` b := json.Valid([]byte(s)) fmt.Println(b) } true

In Golang, there are 2 ways to duplicate slices. Using append Function You could write one simple statement to make a shallow copy of a slice. The following example should cover whatever you are trying to do: package main import "fmt" type T int func main() { a := []T{1, 2} b := append([]T(nil), a...) fmt.Println(a, b) b[1] = 4 fmt.Println(a, b) } [1 2] [1 2] [1 2] [1 4] Using copy Function See the following example: package main import "fmt" type T int func main() { a := []T{1, 2} b := make([]T, len(a)) copy(b, a) fmt.Println(a, b) b[1] = 4 fmt.Println(a, b) } [1 2] [1 2] [1 2] [1 4]

In Python, using the __file__ is the easiest way to get name of current script. Using Module Attributes You can use __file__ to get the name of the current file. When used in the main module, this is the name of the script that was originally invoked. See the following example: #!/usr/bin/python3 # Import module import os print(__file__) # omit the directory part print(os.path.basename(__file__)) /home/python/demo.py demo.py

In Python, there are 2 ways to determine whether a given integer is between two other integers. Using Comparisons Unlike C, all comparison operations in Python have the same priority, which is lower than that of any arithmetic, shifting or bitwise operation. Also unlike C, expressions like a See the following example: #!/usr/bin/python3 i = 20 if 10 < i < 40: print(True) True Using range For example, #!/usr/bin/python3 i = 10 r = range(10, 30) if i in range(10, 30): print(True) print(30 in r) print(20 in r) True False True

In Python, there are 2 ways to delete a character from a string. Using replace Method The str.replace(old, new[, count]) method returns a copy of the string with all occurrences of substring old replaced by new. If the optional argument count is given, only the first count occurrences are replaced. See the following example: #!/usr/bin/python3 s = "Hello" s = s.replace("l", "") print(s) Heo Using Slice Syntax Specify the start index and the end index, separated by a colon, to return a part of the string. For example, #!/usr/bin/python3 # remove character def remove(str, rep): i = str.find(rep) if i == -1: return str str = str[:i]+str[i+1:] return remove(str, rep) s = "Hello" s = remove(s, 'l') print(s) Heo

In Python, there are 2 ways to make a list of alphabet characters. Using string Module The string.ascii_lowercase is a pre-initialized string used as string constant. In Python, string ascii_lowercase will give the lowercase letters ‘abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz’. See the following example: #!/usr/bin/python3 # Import module import string # string.ascii_lowercase # string.ascii_uppercase # string.ascii_letters ls = list(string.ascii_lowercase) print(ls) ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z'] Using range Function The range(start, stop[, step]) function returns a sequence of numbers, starting from 0 by default, and increments by 1 (by default), and stops before a specified number. For example, #!/usr/bin/python3 ls = list(map(chr, range(97, 123))) print(ls) ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z'] String module features: Object type: ##### string.whitespace \t\n\r\v\f ##### string.ascii_letters abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ ##### string.ascii_lowercase abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ##### string.ascii_uppercase ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ ##### string.digits 0123456789 ##### string.hexdigits 0123456789abcdefABCDEF ##### string.octdigits 01234567 ##### string.printable digits + ascii_letters + punctuation + whitespace ##### string.punctuation !"#$%&\'()*+,-./:;?@[\\]^_`{|}~

In Golang, using the Unmarshal JSON function is the easiest way to Marshal / Unmarshal json with a custom type attribute. JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. Using UnmarshalJSON Function Example on custom UnmarshalJSON and MarshalJSON. The following example should cover whatever you are trying to do: package main import ( "encoding/json" "fmt" "strconv" "time" ) type CustTimeUinx int64 func (t *CustTimeUinx) UnmarshalJSON(b []byte) error { s, _ := strconv.Unquote(string(b)) uinx := int64(0) if len(s) != 0 { d, _ := time.Parse("2006-01-02 15:04:05", s) uinx = d.Unix() } *t = CustTimeUinx(uinx) return nil } func (t *CustTimeUinx) MarshalJSON() ([]byte, error) { uinx := int64(*t) quoted := strconv.Quote(time.Unix(uinx, 0).Format("2006-01-02 15:04:05")) return []byte(quoted), nil } type TestItem struct { Curr CustTimeUinx `json:"Curr"` } func main() { // Unmarshal Json s := `{"curr":"2022-06-26 10:00:00", "age":10}` var data TestItem json.Unmarshal([]byte(s), &data) b, _ := json.MarshalIndent(data, "", " ") fmt.Printf("%s\n", b) // Marshal Json d := TestItem{ Curr: CustTimeUinx(1656237600), } js, _ := json.Marshal(&d) fmt.Printf("%s\n", js) } { "Curr": 1656237600 } {"Curr":"2022-06-26 18:00:00"}

In Python, using the uniform function is the easiest way to get a random number between a float range. Using uniform Method The random.uniform(a, b) method returns a random floating point number N such that a See the following example: #!/usr/bin/python3 # Import module import random a = random.uniform(1.3, 2.4) print(a) 1.654179463181758 2.044145546151235 The end-point value b may or may not be included in the range depending on floating-point rounding in the equation a + (b-a) * random(). if you want generate a random float with N digits to the right of point, you can make this: #!/usr/bin/python3 # Import module import random a = random.uniform(1.3, 2.4) b = round(a, 4) print(b) 2.2657

In Python, there are 2 ways to extract all the numbers contained in a string. Using List Comprehension List comprehensions provide a concise way to create lists. If you only want to extract only positive integers, try the following: #!/usr/bin/python3 s = "The 2.0L 2023 AMG C 63 Wagon" l = [int(c) for c in s.split() if c.isdigit()] print(l) [2023, 63] The other solution is: #!/usr/bin/python3 s = "The2.0L2023AMGC63Wagon" s = ''.join((ch if ch in '0123456789.' else ' ') for ch in s) l = [float(i) for i in s.split()] print(l) [2.0, 2023.0, 63.0] Using Regexp A more robust version would be: #!/usr/bin/python3 # Import module import re s = "The2.0L2023AM.GC63Wagon" l = re.findall(r'[-+]?(?:\d*\.\d+|\d+)', s) print(l) [2023, 63] To catch different patterns it is helpful to query with different patterns. different number patterns'[\d]+[.,\d]+'(finds commas) 12,300 or 12,300.00'[\d]*[.][\d]+'(finds floats) 0.123 or .123'[\d]+'(finds integers) 123'[\d]+[.,\d]+|[\d]*[.][\d]+|[\d]+'(finds integers) 123'[\d]+'Combine with pipe ( | ) into one pattern with multiple or conditionals.

In Golang, using the crypto/aes package is the easiest way to encrypt a string using AES CBC. Ehrsam, Meyer, Smith and Tuchman invented the cipher block chaining (CBC) mode of operation in 1976. In CBC mode, each block of plaintext is XORed with the previous ciphertext block before being encrypted. Using NewCBCEncrypter Function The cipher.NewCBCEncrypter(cipher Block) function returns returns a BlockMode which encrypts in cipher block chaining mode, using the given Block. The length of iv must be the same as the Block's block size. The following example should cover whatever you are trying to do: package main import ( "bytes" "crypto/aes" "crypto/cipher" "crypto/rand" "encoding/hex" "errors" "fmt" "io" ) func PKCS7Padding(ciphertext []byte, blockSize, after int) []byte { padding := (blockSize - len(ciphertext)%blockSize) padtext := bytes.Repeat([]byte{byte(padding)}, padding) return append(ciphertext, padtext...) } func PKCS7Unpad(b []byte, blocksize int) ([]byte, error) { if blocksize <= 0 { return nil, errors.New("invalid blocksize") } if len(b) == 0 { return nil, errors.New("unpad error") } if len(b)%blocksize != 0 { return nil, errors.New("unpad error") } c := b[len(b)-1] n := int(c) if n == 0 || n > len(b) { return nil, errors.New("unpad error") } for i := 0; i < n; i++ { if b[len(b)-n+i] != c { return nil, errors.New("unpad error") } } return b[:len(b)-n], nil } func AesCBCEncrypt(key string, text string) (string, error) { plaintext := PKCS7Padding([]byte(text), aes.BlockSize, len(text)) // CBC mode works on blocks so plaintexts may need to be padded to the // next whole block. if len(plaintext)%aes.BlockSize != 0 { return "", errors.New("plaintext is not a multiple of the block size") } block, err := aes.NewCipher([]byte(key)) if err != nil { return "", err } // The IV needs to be unique, but not secure. Therefore it's common to // include it at the beginning of the ciphertext. ciphertext := make([]byte, aes.BlockSize+len(plaintext)) iv := ciphertext[:aes.BlockSize] if _, err := io.ReadFull(rand.Reader, iv); err != nil { panic(err) } mode := cipher.NewCBCEncrypter(block, iv) mode.CryptBlocks(ciphertext[aes.BlockSize:], plaintext) // It's important to remember that ciphertexts must be authenticated // (i.e. by using crypto/hmac) as well as being encrypted in order to // be secure. return hex.EncodeToString(ciphertext), nil } func AesCBCDecrypt(key string, text string) (string, error) { ciphertext, err := hex.DecodeString(text) if err != nil { return "", err } block, err := aes.NewCipher([]byte(key)) if err != nil { return "", err } if len(ciphertext) < aes.BlockSize { return "", errors.New("ciphertext too short") } iv := ciphertext[:aes.BlockSize] ciphertext = ciphertext[aes.BlockSize:] // CBC mode always works in whole blocks. if len(ciphertext)%aes.BlockSize != 0 { return "", errors.New("ciphertext is not a multiple of the block size") } mode := cipher.NewCBCDecrypter(block, iv) mode.CryptBlocks(ciphertext, ciphertext) // If the original plaintext lengths are not a multiple of the block // size, padding would have to be added when encrypting, which would be // removed at this point. ciphertext, _ = PKCS7Unpad(ciphertext, aes.BlockSize) return string(ciphertext[:]), nil } func main() { s := "Hello" key := "zb0SLh88rdSHswjcgcC6949ZUuopGXTt" ciphertext, _ := AesCBCEncrypt(key, s) fmt.Println(ciphertext) plaintext, _ := AesCBCDecrypt(key, ciphertext) fmt.Printf("Decrypt:: %s\n", plaintext) } 22fb92560a7a1e7a9ba881943d5e078c517343133049b8ff4b5492a7b2276b3e Decrypt:: Hello

In Golang, using the crypto/aes package is the easiest way to encrypt a string using AES GCM 256. In cryptography, Galois/Counter Mode (GCM) is a mode of operation for symmetric-key cryptographic block ciphers which is widely adopted for its performance. Using NewGCM Function The cipher.NewGCM(cipher Block) function returns the given 128-bit, block cipher wrapped in Galois Counter Mode with the standard nonce length. The following example should cover whatever you are trying to do: package main import ( "crypto/aes" "crypto/cipher" "crypto/rand" "encoding/hex" "fmt" "io" ) func AesGCMIv() ([]byte, error) { // Never use more than 2^32 random nonces with a given key because of the risk of a repeat. nonce := make([]byte, 12) if _, err := io.ReadFull(rand.Reader, nonce); err != nil { return nil, err } return nonce, nil } func AesGCMEncrypt(key string, text string) (string, error) { // When decoded the key should be 16 bytes (AES-128) or 32 (AES-256). block, err := aes.NewCipher([]byte(key)) if err != nil { return "", err } plaintext := []byte(text) nonce, err := AesGCMIv() if err != nil { return "", err } aesgcm, err := cipher.NewGCM(block) if err != nil { return "", err } ciphertext := aesgcm.Seal(nonce, nonce, plaintext, nil) return fmt.Sprintf("%x", ciphertext), nil } func AesGCMDecrypt(key string, text string) (string, error) { // When decoded the key should be 16 bytes (AES-128) or 32 (AES-256). block, err := aes.NewCipher([]byte(key)) if err != nil { return "", err } aesgcm, err := cipher.NewGCM(block) if err != nil { return "", err } in, _ := hex.DecodeString(text) ns := aesgcm.NonceSize() nonce, ciphertext := in[:ns], in[ns:] plaintext, err := aesgcm.Open(nil, nonce, ciphertext, nil) if err != nil { return "", err } return string(plaintext[:]), nil } func main() { s := "Hello" key := "zb0SLh88rdSHswjcgcC6949ZUuopGXTt" ciphertext, _ := AesGCMEncrypt(key, s) fmt.Println(ciphertext) plaintext, _ := AesGCMDecrypt(key, ciphertext) fmt.Printf("Decrypt:: %s\n", plaintext) } 0680f8fef173fd969bb073d614e7059b62147b0e8eb6a7fdbe3040a8cd3a0d05c5 Decrypt:: Hello

In Golang, using the crypto/hmac library is the easiest way to generate a SHA256 HMAC Hash from a string. In cryptography, an HMAC (hash-based message authentication code) is a specific type of message authentication code (MAC) involving a cryptographic hash function and a secret cryptographic key. Using hmac Package The hmac.New() function returns a new HMAC hash using the given hash.Hash type and key. The following example should cover whatever you are trying to do: package main import ( "crypto/hmac" "crypto/sha256" "fmt" ) func main() { s := "Hello" key := "FDJ1mnhuzjFjTdwhq7DtZG2Cq9kuuEZCG" h := hmac.New(sha256.New, []byte(key)) h.Write([]byte(s)) fmt.Printf("%x\n", h.Sum(nil)) fmt.Printf("%x\n", sha256.Sum256([]byte(s))) } b5352927e7a57a6485fa4afa7452b3817abe47d07c8aa2511bdcb9a43ac0f224 185f8db32271fe25f561a6fc938b2e264306ec304eda518007d1764826381969 Generating a MD5 HMAC Hash For example, package main import ( "crypto/hmac" "crypto/md5" "fmt" ) func main() { s := "Hello" key := "FDJ1mnhuzjFjTdwhq7DtZG2Cq9kuuEZCG" h := hmac.New(md5.New, []byte(key)) h.Write([]byte(s)) fmt.Printf("%x\n", h.Sum(nil)) } ed1d2af782f2fa171867e4e810bf9a3d block length: Hash function H b, bytes L, bytes MD5 64 16 SHA-1 64 20 SHA-224 64 28 SHA-256 64 32 SHA-512/224 128 28 SHA-512/256 128 32 SHA-384 128 48 SHA-512 128 64 SHA3-224 144 28 SHA3-256 136 32 SHA3-384 104 48 SHA3-512 72 64 out = H( in )L = length( out )b = H's internal block length

In Golang, using the Sum256 function is the easiest way to get a SHA256 hash from a string. Go implements several hash functions in various crypto/* packages. Using Sum256 Function The sha256.Sum256() function returns the SHA256 checksum of the data. The following example should cover whatever you are trying to do: package main import ( "crypto/sha256" "encoding/hex" "fmt" ) func main() { s := "Hello" sum := sha256.Sum256([]byte(s)) fmt.Printf("%x\n", sum) fmt.Println(hex.EncodeToString(sum[:])) } 185f8db32271fe25f561a6fc938b2e264306ec304eda518007d1764826381969 185f8db32271fe25f561a6fc938b2e264306ec304eda518007d1764826381969 Using New Function New returns a new hash.Hash computing the SHA256 checksum. For example, package main import ( "crypto/sha256" "fmt" ) func main() { h := sha256.New() h.Write([]byte("Hello")) h.Write([]byte("World")) fmt.Printf("%x\n", h.Sum(nil)) } 872e4e50ce9990d8b041330c47c9ddd11bec6b503ae9386a99da8584e9bb12c4 Generate SHA256 checksum of a file. See the following example: package main import ( "crypto/sha256" "fmt" "io" "os" ) func main() { f, err := os.Open("ins.txt") if err != nil { // log.Fatal(err) } defer f.Close() h := sha256.New() if _, err := io.Copy(h, f); err != nil { // log.Fatal(err) } fmt.Printf("%x\n", h.Sum(nil)) } 39866a50dfb27f5b96f075b3cbf9179096c87495983782427a0422c611a30e1e

In Golang, using the Sum function is the easiest way to get a MD5 hash from a string. Using Sum Function The md5.Sum() function returns the MD5 checksum of the data. The following example should cover whatever you are trying to do: package main import ( "crypto/md5" "encoding/hex" "fmt" ) func main() { b := []byte("Hello") out := md5.Sum(b) fmt.Printf("%x\n", out) // EncodeToString fmt.Println(hex.EncodeToString(out[:])) } 8b1a9953c4611296a827abf8c47804d7 8b1a9953c4611296a827abf8c47804d7 Using New Function New returns a new hash.Hash computing the MD5 checksum. The Hash also implements encoding.BinaryMarshaler and encoding.BinaryUnmarshaler to marshal and unmarshal the internal state of the hash. For example, package main import ( "crypto/md5" "fmt" "io" ) func main() { h := md5.New() io.WriteString(h, "Hello") io.WriteString(h, "Word") fmt.Printf("%x\n", h.Sum(nil)) } 04b6f86d49716af8d4f2edf01a309fc8 Generate MD5 checksum of a file. See the following example: package main import ( "crypto/md5" "fmt" "io" "os" ) func main() { f, err := os.Open("ins.txt") if err != nil { // log.Fatal(err) } defer f.Close() h := md5.New() if _, err := io.Copy(h, f); err != nil { // log.Fatal(err) } fmt.Printf("%x\n", h.Sum(nil)) } 3dca0fa76621281bfb7ffab47c860502

In Golang, using the IsPrivate function is the easiest way to check if IP address is in private network space. Using IsPrivate Function The IsPrivate() function reports whether ip is a private address, according to RFC 1918 (IPv4 addresses) and RFC 4193 (IPv6 addresses). The following example should cover whatever you are trying to do: // Go 1.17+ package main import ( "fmt" "net" ) func main() { ip := "1.1.1.1" addr := net.ParseIP(ip) fmt.Println(addr.IsPrivate()) ip = "10.3.4.0" addr = net.ParseIP(ip) fmt.Println(addr.IsPrivate()) } false true This requires Go 1.17. Using RFC1918 Here is an example with a list of RFC1918 address plus these others and a simple check against them as isPrivateIP(ip net.IP): package main import ( "fmt" "net" ) var privIPBlocks []*net.IPNet func isPrivate(ip string) bool { // init blocks if len(privIPBlocks) == 0 { for _, cidr := range []string{ "127.0.0.0/8", // IPv4 loopback "10.0.0.0/8", // RFC1918 "172.16.0.0/12", // RFC1918 "192.168.0.0/16", // RFC1918 "169.254.0.0/16", // RFC3927 link-local "::1/128", // IPv6 loopback "fe80::/10", // IPv6 link-local "fc00::/7", // IPv6 unique local addr } { _, block, err := net.ParseCIDR(cidr) if err != nil { panic(fmt.Errorf("parse error on %q: %v", cidr, err)) } privIPBlocks = append(privIPBlocks, block) } } addr := net.ParseIP(ip) if addr.IsLoopback() || addr.IsLinkLocalUnicast() || addr.IsLinkLocalMulticast() { return true } for _, block := range privIPBlocks { if block.Contains(addr) { return true } } return false } func main() { ip := "1.1.1.1" fmt.Println(isPrivate(ip)) ip = "10.3.4.0" fmt.Println(isPrivate(ip)) } false true

In PHP, using the $_SERVER variable is the easiest way to get the full URL. Using $_SERVER Variable $_SERVER is an array containing information such as headers, paths, and script locations. The following example should cover whatever you are trying to do: $link = "//{$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']}{$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']}"; // escaped $link = htmlspecialchars($link, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); echo $link; //installmd.com/code/php/hash.php?p=1

In PHP, there are 2 ways to check if a string contains a specific word. Using strpos Function The strpos(string $haystack, string $needle, int $offset = 0): int|false function finds the numeric position of the first occurrence of needle in the haystack string. For example, $str = "hello"; $pos = strpos($str, "l"); var_dump($pos); $pos = strpos($str, "b"); var_dump($pos); int(2) bool(false) Using preg_match Function A simple match for are could look something like this: $str = "hello"; $m = preg_match("/lo/i", $str); var_dump($m); $m = preg_match("/b/i", $str); var_dump($m); int(1) int(0)
