The Count()
function returns the number of times a given substring appears in a given string without overlapping.
Syntax
strings.Count(str, sub)
Where str
is the string being searched. sub
, on the other hand, is the substring being searched for. It returns an int
as the number of non-overlapping occurrences of sub
in str
. When sub
is an empty string, Count()
will count the boundaries before and after each character in str
. (i.e. When str
is “A” and sub
is “”, Count()
returns 2. When str
is “ABC” and sub
is “”, then Count()
returns 4.)
Example
The following example searches for the letter “e” in “Codecademy” and prints out the result.
package mainimport ("fmt""strings")func main() {name := "Codecademy"find := "e"fmt.Println(find, "is in", name, strings.Count(name,find), "times")}
This results in the following output:
e is in Codecademy 2 times
Codebyte Example
The following example shows how Count()
only counts non-overlapping substrings.
