Here is the code that works:
package main
import (
"fmt"
)
type Base struct {
Field int
}
type Derived struct {
Base
}
func main() {
d := &Derived{}
d.Field = 10
fmt.Println(d.Field)
}
And here's the code that fails to compile with ./main.go:17: unknown Derived field 'Field' in struct literal
package main
import (
"fmt"
)
type Base struct {
Field int
}
type Derived struct {
Base
}
func main() {
d := &Derived{
Field: 10,
}
fmt.Println(d.Field)
}
What exactly is going on here? Sorry if it's obvious, but I just don't understand.
