I am following the "Little Go Book" by Karl Seguin, in order to learn Go.
My working environment is Visual Studio Code.
Upon debugging, when I try to call a function from the debug console, i get the following error: "function calls not allowed without using 'call'", if I try using "call fib(10)", i get "Unable to eval expression: "1:6: expected 'EOF', found fib". This is the function I am trying to evaluate:
//Fibonnaci
func fib(n int) int64 {
if n == 0 {
return 0
} else if n == 1 {
return 1
} else {
return fib(n-1) + fib(n-2)
}
}
If i try to call the function from the code itself ( from the main() for instance, it works perfectly).
However, if I set a breakpoint and try to call the same function from the debugger console, I get the below error:
Eval error: function calls not allowed without using 'call'
call fib(10)
Unable to eval expression: "1:6: expected 'EOF', found fib"
Failed to eval expression: {
"Expr": "call fib(10)",
"Scope": {
"goroutineID": 1,

},
"Cfg": {
"followPointers": true,

"maxStructFields": -1
}
}
