checksum of a byte array

Question

I have a []byte, made from a string:

    array := []byte("some string")

It looks like expected:

    [115 111 109 101 32 115 116 114 105 110 103]

Is there a way to simply get the checksum of []byte? Like:

    sum(array)

Answer 1

Maybe you need md5.sum to check reliability.

https://pkg.go.dev/crypto/md5#Sum

package main

import (
    "crypto/md5"
    "fmt"
)

func main() {
    data := []byte("some string")
    fmt.Printf("%x", md5.Sum(data))
}

Another example.
