I recommend re-watching the video. :wink:

  • You don't return anything. Your function is still returning type Hours.
  • The argument should be a pointer.
  • When you access or change the value of the parameter, you need to "unbox" (more formally, dereference) the pointer passed in.
func (h *Hours) Increment() {
    *h = (*h + 1) % 24
}

Happy coding! :zap: ~Alex
