I am facing a challenge with julia range

I am new to Julia. While trying out examples online, I got to the plot below:

using Plots

# 10 data points in 4 series
xs = range(0, 2π, length = 10)
data = [sin.(xs) cos.(xs) 2sin.(xs) 2cos.(xs)]

# We put labels in a row vector: applies to each series
labels = ["Apples" "Oranges" "Hats" "Shoes"]

# Marker shapes in a column vector: applies to data points
markershapes = [:circle, :star5]

# Marker colors in a matrix: applies to series and data points
markercolors = [
    :green :orange :black :purple
    :red   :yellow :brown :white
]

plot(
    xs,
    data,
    label = labels,
    shape = markershapes,
    color = markercolors,
    markersize = 10
)

The Problem I am facing is at the beginning. Even if I try below alone on REPL

julia> xs = range(0, 2π, length = 10)

I receive the error below:

ERROR: MethodError: no method matching range(::Int64, ::Float64; length=10)
Closest candidates are:
  range(::Any; length, stop, step) at range.jl:76
Stacktrace:
 [1] top-level scope at none:0

Did I forget to include some Package?

Which version of Julia are you using? It sounds like you are using a version that is older than the tutorial you are reading. I can verify that range(0, 2π, length = 10) yields 0.0:0.6981317007977318:6.283185307179586 on Julia 1.5 and Julia 1.6, even without specifying stop

I guess I should have made more research before posting. it's an error in the original post I guess.

I should have used:

julia> xs = range(0, stop=2π, length = 10)
0.0:0.6981317007977318:6.283185307179586

No more errors!!

It's weird, I am following official tutorial... :((
