621 Pointswhere is the source code for this so i can figure out why my answer is incorrect? logs aren't detailed enough to help
i'd like to better analyze this question and figure out why my answer is incorrect. It is clearly incorrect (I'm still working through this challenge), I just don't know why or how to move forward because the error, failed test, etc. do not explain well enough how to move forward. On my local machine it works fine on terminal because i can print logs and figure out where the errors are coming from. I cannot do that here. Thank you
package clock
type Clock struct {
Hours int
Minutes int
}
func Noon(c Clock) Clock {
c.Hours = 12
c.Minutes = 0
return c
}

This is what the test output for the solution you posted here reads:
# clock
src/clock/clock_test.go:21: not enough arguments in call to Noon
have ()
want (Clock)
FAIL clock [build failed]
This is saying that the test case has no arguments to pass to the Noon function, however your solution wanted an argument of type Clock.
You should revise the function signature to not take any arguments like so:
func Noon() Clock
Keep in mind the challenge was to write a function that returns a new Clock value and not modify an existing Clock value. Because of this there is no need to pass in an existing Clock type to the Noon function since this function should be creating a new Clock and setting its Hours and Minutes fields to represent noon.
Hope that helps out!

621 PointsWow, I was totally overcomplicating the challenge. Thank you!

23,237 PointsNo problem! Your first solution was the start of a method which probably would give you more mileage in reality, but the challenge for Structs was a simplification.
