1,040 PointsIt works in VSC :/
When I run my code in Visual Studio Code terminal it works fine. I have
package main
import ( "fmt" )
func HalfPriceSale(prices map[string]float64) map[string]float64 {
products := map[string]float64{"OCKOPROG": 89.99, "ALBOÖMME": 129.99, "TRAALLÅ": 49.99}
for product, price := range products {
products[product] = price / 2
}
return products
}
func main() {
fmt.Println(HalfPriceSale(map[string]float64{"OCKOPROG": 89.99, "ALBOÖMME": 129.99, "TRAALLÅ": 49.99}))
}
I get:
$ go run main.go map[OCKOPROG:44.995 ALBOÖMME:64.995 TRAALLÅ:24.995]
package sales
func HalfPriceSale(prices map[string]float64) map[string]float64 {
products := map[string]float64{"OCKOPROG": 89.99, "ALBOÖMME": 129.99, "TRAALLÅ": 49.99}
for product, price := range products {
products[product] = price / 2
}
return products
}

229,783 PointsThe function needs to use the argument passed in as the source of the data to process instead of hard-coded literal data. The challenge passes in different arguments to validate the function.
Otherwise your code is good and you can actually pass by just changing the first line to:
products := prices

1,040 PointsBut in the challenge I get the error: Bummer! Expected HalfPriceSale(map[OCKOPROG:89.99 ALBOOMME:129.99 TRAALLA:49.99])["ALBOOMME"] to be 64.995 but got: 0.000 instead.
