语法错误：函数主体外的未声明语句位于fmt.Println（words，length）

Question

I have the following in the interpreter in the tour of go:

package main

import "fmt"

var someString = "one    two   three four "

var words = strings.Fields(someString)

var length = len(words)

fmt.Println(words, length)

I get

tmp/sandbox216066597/main.go:11: syntax error: non-declaration statement outside function body

I recently corrected it by using var instead of := short syntax outside of any functions, but the error is the same as before.

Answer 1

Your issue isn't with the variable declarations, it's with the fmt.Println line. You must move this inside of a function:

func main() {
    fmt.Println(words, length)
}
