title: keep negative number in string negative when converted golang
body: <p>I'm trying to extract LAT / LONG from a string, but my negative float for the longitude keeps changing to zero, so far I have:</p>
  
  <p>loc1 := "33.333333"</p>
  
  <p>loc2 := "-44.44444"</p>
  
  <p>However when using the strvconv package my results:</p>
  
  <pre><code>nloc1, _ := strconv.ParseFloat(loc1, 64)
  
  RESULT: 33.333333 (successful float64)
  
  
  nloc2, _ := strconv.ParseFloat(loc2, 64)
  
  RESULT: 0 (successful float64)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>any ideas on how to stop that from going to zero? I need to keep it the same number just a negative float. Thanks in advance!</p>
  
  <p>EDIT::  The issue was a leading space, once reformatted, it works as it should. Thanks all.</p>
