error: TODO: expressions are not yet supported at the file scope

I get this message when I run this code from docs.

fn add(x: Int, y: Int) -> Int:
    return x + y

z = add(1, 2)
print(z)

fn add(x: Int, y: Int) -> Int:
    return x + y

z = add(1, 2)
print(z)

Error:

test.mojo:4:1: error: TODO: expressions are not yet supported at the file scope level
z = add(1, 2)
^

Hi @ekjokesunaukya congrats on having the first question! Expressions have to be inside a def or fn so you just have to move it to:

fn add(x: Int, y: Int) -> Int:
    return x + y


def main():
    z = add(1, 2)
    print(z)

fn add(x: Int, y: Int) -> Int:
    return x + y


def main():
    z = add(1, 2)
    print(z)

Support for expressions outside a fn or def (file scope) will be implemented later
