Go Program to Print First Character in a String

Write a Go Program to find and Print the First Character in a String. We can use the index position to access the string characters. Here, strFirstChar[0] returns the first character in a given string strFirstChar.

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {

    var strFirstChar string

    strFirstChar = "Tutorial Gateway"

    fmt.Println(strFirstChar)

    firstChar := strFirstChar[0]

    fmt.Printf("The First Character in this String = %c\n", firstChar)
}

Go Program to Print First Character in a String 1

The above string first character code returns the byte as an output. However, you can Golang slice a string that gets and prints the first string character.

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {

    var strFirstChar string

    strFirstChar = "Go Programs"

    fmt.Println(strFirstChar)

    firstChar := strFirstChar[:1]

    fmt.Println("The First Character in this String = ", firstChar)
}

Go Programs
The First Character in this String =  G
