# inefficient-sprintf

**Default severity:** `warning`

Simple `%s`, `%t`, and base-10 integer conversions can use the string directly
or the corresponding `strconv` function without format parsing and reflection.

## Bad

```go
text := fmt.Sprintf("%d", number)
```

## Good

```go
text := strconv.Itoa(number)
```
