How to fmt.Printf an integer with thousands comma

Question

Does Go\'s fmt.Printf support outputting a number with the thousands comma?

fmt.Printf(\"%d\", 1000) outputs 1000, what format

Answer 1

If you don't want to use a library (for whatever reason), I knocked this up. It seems to work and can use any specified rune as a delimiter:

import (
    "strconv"
)

func delimitNumeral(i int, delim rune) string {

    src := strconv.Itoa(i)
    strLen := utf8.RuneCountInString(src)
    outStr := ""
    digitCount := 0
    for i := strLen - 1; i >= 0; i-- {

        outStr = src[i:i+1] + outStr
        if digitCount == 2 {
            outStr = string(delim) + outStr
            digitCount = 0
        } else {
            digitCount++
        }
    }

    return outStr
}

Note: after further testing, this function doesn't work perfectly. I would suggest using the solution posted by @IvanTung, and welcome any edits from anyone who can get mine to work perfectly.
