Case-Insensitive Compare

Ignoring case

For case-insensitive comparison, use strings.EqualFold:

fmt.Println(strings.EqualFold("Go", "go"))  // true
fmt.Println(strings.EqualFold("GO", "Go"))  // true

EqualFold handles Unicode correctly. It's better than converting both strings to lowercase, which can fail for some languages. Use it for comparing user input where case shouldn't matter.
