How to find out element position in slice?

The Sort function sorts the data interface in both ascending and descending order. IntSlice attaches the methods of Interface to []int, sorting in increasing order. StringSlice attaches the methods of Interface to []string, sorting in increasing order.

Below is an example to search particular string or integer in string or integer slice vice versa.

Example

package main
 
import (
    "fmt"
    "sort"
)
 
func main() {   
    str := []string{"Washington","Texas","Ohio","Nevada","Montana","Indiana","Alaska"} // unsorted
    sort.Sort(sort.StringSlice(str))    
	fmt.Println(str)  // sorted
    
	fmt.Println("Length of Slice: ", sort.StringSlice.Len(str))   // 7     
    fmt.Println("OHIO found in Slice at position: ", sort.StringSlice(str).Search("OHIO"))        //  4
    fmt.Println("Ohio found in Slice at position: ", sort.StringSlice(str).Search("Ohio"))        //  4
    fmt.Println("ohio found in Slice at position: ", sort.StringSlice(str).Search("ohio"))        //  7
	
	fmt.Println("\n\n")
	
	num := []int{9, 22, 54, 33, -10, 40} // unsorted
    sort.Sort(sort.IntSlice(num))
    fmt.Println(num)  // sorted
    
	fmt.Println("Length of Slice: ", sort.IntSlice.Len(num))  // 6
    fmt.Println("40 found in Slice at position: ", sort.IntSlice(num).Search(40))     //  4
    fmt.Println("82 found in Slice at position: ", sort.IntSlice(num).Search(82))     //  6
}

Output

[Alaska Indiana Montana Nevada Ohio Texas Washington]
Length of Slice:  7
OHIO found in Slice at position:  4
Ohio found in Slice at position:  4
ohio found in Slice at position:  7



[-10 9 22 33 40 54]
Length of Slice:  6
40 found in Slice at position:  4
82 found in Slice at position:  6
