How to properly check if a string is empty in Go?
Hello everyone! I just started learning Go, and I have a problem with checking strings for emptiness. I'm writing a small service for processing user input, and I need to make sure that strings are not empty before using them.
The problem is that I see several ways to do this, but I don't understand which one is correct and efficient. Here's what I've tried:
```go
func processInput(input string) bool {
// Method 1: comparison with empty string
if input == "" {
return false
}
// Method 2: length check
if len(input) == 0 {
return false
}
// Method 3: byte comparison
if len([]byte(input)) == 0 {
return false
}
return true
}
```
All three methods seem to work, but I'm confused:
