[ Go language Challenge task ] undefined: sales.total

I try to print sales.total but I get an error "undefined: sales.total" What's wrong with my code?

src/code.my.com/git/sales/sales.go 
package sales

var total float32 = 1234.56
report.go 
package main

import(
  "fmt"
  "code.my.com/git/sales"
)

func main() {
  fmt.Println(sales.total)
}

Hi there! Remember that for a variable to be "exported" or visible to other Go packages the name must be capitalized. Otherwise, it will only be visible inside that package.

Hope this helps! :sparkles:
