How to check if a string starts with a substring in Golang

In this tutorial, you will learn how you can check if a string starts with a substring in golang

The Go strings module has a HasPrefix() function that accepts two arguments, string1 and string2 to check if the first argument starts with the second argument or not, and returns a truthy value.

Example

package main

import (
    "strings"
)

func main() {
    hasPrefix := strings.HasPrefix("programming language",  "program") //true
  noPrefix := strings.HasPrefix("language",  "ang") // false
}
