Where's wrong here? :c

I have tried a twenty times and I can't figure out where is wrong

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

var total = 1234.56
report.go 
package main

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

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

In Go, you have to capitalize the first letter of a variable in order for it to be visible (public) between different modules.

Thus, you will need to capitalize the first letter in 'total' in both sales.go and report.go files.

Go is a cool language, I think you're going to enjoy it!
