"undefined" function declared in another file?

func, go, undefined

Solution

Please read "How to Write Go Code".

Use `go build` or `go install` within the package directory, or supply an import path for the package. Do not use file arguments for `build` or `install`.

While you can use file arguments for `go run`, you should build a package instead, usually with `go run .`, though you should almost always use `go install`, or `go build`.

Problem

I'm trying to write a basic go program that calls a function on a different file, but a part of the same package. However, it returns: ``` undefined: NewEmployee ``` Here is the source code: `main.go`: ``` package main func main() { emp := NewEmployee() } ``` `employee.go`: ``` package main type Employee struct { name string age int } func NewEmployee() *Employee { p := &Employee{} return p } func PrintEmployee (p *Employee) { return "Hello world!" } ```
