# zero-replacement-limit

**Default severity:** `warning`

The final argument to `strings.Replace` and `bytes.Replace` is the maximum
number of replacements. Zero replaces nothing. Use a negative value or the
corresponding `ReplaceAll` function to replace every occurrence.

## Bad

```go
strings.Replace(value, old, replacement, 0)
```

## Good

```go
strings.ReplaceAll(value, old, replacement)
```
