radix

Convert floats to radix strings, just the way JavaScript does it.

This does not call JavaScript code whatsoever. This is a completely native solution to Go.

Usage

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"github.com/CrimsonAIO/radix"
)

func main() {
	// prints: 1.41b71758e2196
	// the same result can be achieved via calling "(1.2567).toString(16)" in JavaScript.
	fmt.Println(radix.ToString(1.2567, 16))
}

Check it out on The Go Playground.
