golang string join

To compare different join string way  used memory

Code

func randomString(n int) string {
	b := make([]byte, n)
	for i := range b {
		b[i] = letterBytes[rand.Intn(len(letterBytes))]
	}
	return string(b)
}

func concat(n int) string {
	var s strings.Builder
	for i := 0; i < n; i++ {
		s.WriteString(randomString(n))
	}
	return s.String()
}
func concatStringAdd(n int) string {
	var s string
	for i := 0; i < n; i++ {
		s += randomString(n)
	}
	return s
}

func main() {
	defer profile.Start(profile.MemProfile, profile.MemProfileRate(1)).Stop()
	concat(100)
	concatStringAdd(100)
}

Result:

strings.Builder less than s+= in use memory aspect

s+= is 8 times strings.Builder from find following figure

Tip: you can also :

func builderConcat(n int, str string) string {
	var builder strings.Builder
	builder.Grow(n * len(str))
	for i := 0; i < n; i++ {
		builder.WriteString(str)
	}
	return builder.String()
}
