In Go language slice is more powerful, flexible, convenient than an array, and is a lightweight data structure. The slice is a variable-length sequence which stores elements of a similar type, you are not allowed to store different type of elements in the same slice.
In the Go slice of bytes, you are allowed to convert a slice in the lowercase using ToLower() function. This function returns a copy of the given slice of bytes(treat as UTF-8-encoded bytes) in which all the Unicode letters mapped into lowercase. It is defined under the bytes package so, you have to import bytes package in your program for accessing ToLower function.
Syntax:
func ToLower(slice_1 []byte) []byte
Here, slice_1 represents a slice of bytes which you want to convert to lowercase.
Example:
// Go program to illustrate how to convert // the case of the given slice into lowercase package main import ( "bytes"
"fmt"
) // Main function func main() { // Creating and initializing
// the slice of bytes
// Using shorthand declaration
slice_1 := []byte{ 'G' , 'E' , 'E' , 'K' , 'S' }
slice_2 := []byte{ 'A' , 'P' , 'P' , 'L' , 'E' }
//Displaying slices
fmt.Println( "Original slice:" )
fmt.Printf( "Slice 1: %s" , slice_1)
fmt.Printf( "\nSlice 2: %s" , slice_2)
// Converting the elements of the
// given slices into lowercase
// Using ToLower function
res1 := bytes.ToLower(slice_1)
res2 := bytes.ToLower(slice_2)
res3 := bytes.ToLower([]byte( "GEEKSFORGEEKS" ))
res4 := bytes.ToLower([]byte( "GeeKSFORGeeKS" ))
// Display the results
fmt.Printf( "\n\nNew Slice:" )
fmt.Printf( "\nSlice 1: %s" , res1)
fmt.Printf( "\nSlice 2: %s" , res2)
fmt.Printf( "\nSlice 3: %s" , res3)
fmt.Printf( "\nSlice 4: %s" , res4)

Output:
Original slice: Slice 1: GEEKS Slice 2: APPLE New Slice: Slice 1: geeks Slice 2: apple Slice 3: geeksforgeeks Slice 4: geeksforgeeks
