Getting 'undefined variable' error in my Golang code, need help debugging

Question

Hello

I'm working on a Golang project, and I've encountered an issue that I can't seem to resolve. I'm getting an 'undefined variable' error, and I'm not sure why it's happening. Here's a simplified version of my code as below . When I run this code, I get an error saying undefined: anotherMessage. I've tried declaring anotherMessage before using it, but it doesn't seem to fix the issue. Can someone please explain what's causing this error and how I can resolve it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

package mainimport "fmt"func main() { message := "Hello, world!" fmt.Println(message) fmt.Println(anotherMessage) // This line throws an error}

I have checked https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/support/Golang Certification for guidance .

Thank you

Hi @kritishah , 

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

Are you using Visual Studio Code?

The tag “Visual Studio Debugging” is related to Visual Studio IDE which is different from the Visual Studio Code.

If you have any questions, please report it in dedicated Visual Studio Code forum or Go forum. 

For your issue, I suppose the anotherMessage is not defined properly. Maybe you can check the following:

Anna
