Replace()

The strings.Replace() method replaces all, or a number of, occurrences of a specified substring within a given string with another substring. It returns a new string with the replacements made.

Syntax

func Replace(provided str, old str, new str, n int) string

If the old string is empty, it corresponds to the beginning of the provided string. It returns up to k+1 replacements after each UTF-8 sequence, resulting in a k-rune string. If n is a negative integer, there is no limit to the number of substitutions that can be made.

The strings.Replace() function takes four parameters:

• provided: The original string.
• old: The string that will be replaced.
• new: The string that replaces the old string.
• n: The count of replacements made of the old string.

Example

The following example shows the implementation of strings.Replace():

package main

import(
  "fmt"
  "strings"
)

func main(){
  fmt.Println(strings.Replace("codecademy CODEcademy codecademy", "code", "</> ", -1))
  fmt.Println(strings.Replace("empty old string", "", "!", 2))
}

The output will be:

</> cademy CODEcademy </> cademy
!e!mpty old string

Codebyte Example

The provided example is executable and demonstrates the usage of the strings.Replace() function. It replaces occurrences of the old string "one" with the new string "1".
