How to demonstrate the fmt.Sscanf() function in Golang

// Golang program to demonstrate the
// fmt.Sscanf() function

package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
	var dd int = 0
	var mm int = 0
	var yy int = 0

	var strDate string = "17-04-20"

	_, err := fmt.Sscanf(strDate, "%02d-%02d-%02d", &dd, &mm, &yy)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	fmt.Println("DD: ", dd)
	fmt.Println("MM: ", mm)
	fmt.Println("YY: ", yy)
}

In the main function, we created three integer variables dd, mm, yy that are initialized with 0. Then we extract values for dd, mm, yy variables using fmt.Sscanf() function. After that, we printed the result on the console screen.
