The challenge
Write an algorithm that will identify valid IPv4 addresses in dot-decimal format. IPs should be considered valid if they consist of four octets, with values between `` and 255, inclusive.
Valid inputs examples:
1.2.3.4
123.45.67.89
Invalid input examples:
1.2.3
1.2.3.4.5
123.456.78.90
123.045.067.089
Notes:
- Leading zeros (e.g.
01.02.03.04) are considered invalid - Inputs are guaranteed to be a single string
The solution in Golang
Option 1:
package solution
import "net"
func Is_valid_ip(ip string) bool {
if r := net.ParseIP(ip); r == nil {
return false
}
return true
}
Option 2:
package solution
import "net"
func Is_valid_ip(ip string) bool {
return net.ParseIP(ip) != nil
}
Option 3:
package solution
import "regexp"
func Is_valid_ip(ip string) bool {
re, _ := regexp.Compile(`^(([0-9]|[1-9][0-9]|1[0-9]{2}|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])\.){3}([0-9]|[1-9][0-9]|1[0-9]{2}|2[0-4][0-9]|25[0-5])$`)
if re.MatchString(ip) {
return true
}
return false
}
