./main.go:10: non-declaration statement outside function body

[Roelof Wobben]

Hello,

I try to solve this problem :

• Write a program that finds the smallest number in this list:

  x := []int{
      48,96,86,68,
      57,82,63,70,
      37,34,83,27,
      19,97, 9,17,
  }

So I did this :

• Write a program that finds the smallest number in this list:

  package main

• import "fmt"

• x := []int{
      48,96,86,68,
      57,82,63,70,
      37,34,83,27,
      19,97, 9,17,
  }

• func main() {
    answer := 0 ; 
    for i:= 1; i <= len(x) ; i++ { 
       if x[i] > answer {
         answer = x[i]
       }
      fmt.Println(answer)
    }
  }

but now I see this error message :

# command-line-arguments                                                                                                                                                               

./main.go:10: non-declaration statement outside function body

You can only use the := syntax inside functions. Use var: http://play.golang.org/p/FNjIn4p92r
