For some reason, the solution for this exercise does not accept:

var meditation = fmt.Sprintln(step1, step2)

But it does accept:

meditation := fmt.Sprintln(step1, step2)

Even though earlier lessons (and the running of the code) confirm those two lines are logically equivalent.

Seems like we should be accepting both.

Hello

isn’t there a mistake in Sprint and Sprintln section in the last example?

quote = fmt.Sprintln(“Look ma,”, “no spaces!”)
fmt.Print(quote) // Prints Look ma, no spaces!

Should not it be
quote : = fmt.Sprintln(“Look ma,”, “no spaces!”)
fmt.Print(quote) // Prints Look ma, no spaces!

If not, then why?
