I am learning Julia programming by reading the book Think Julia I am including the following:
forward is a function in the ThinkJulia module. It acts on the Turtle() object, to move it forward. Why, after the line using ThinkJulia , am I getting this error. Do I have to be more specific in Julia about importing functions? I thought using would give me access to all functions in that particular module?
You need to pass a value not to its type to forward, so define your function like this:
function forward_len(t::Turtle, d)
forward(t, d)
end
and things should work
The error message is clear, you do not have forward method matching your parameter types.
Try 'Forward' instead of 'forward';
function forward_len(t::Turtle, d)
Forward(t, d)
end
