语法错误：函数主体外的未声明语句位于fmt.Println（words，length）

I have the following in the interpreter in the tour of go:

package main

import "fmt"

var someString = "one    two   three four "

var words = strings.Fields(someString)

var length = len(words)

fmt.Println(words, length)

I get

tmp/sandbox216066597/main.go:11: syntax error: non-declaration statement outside function body

I recently corrected it by using var instead of := short syntax outside of any functions, but the error is the same as before.

Your issue isn't with the variable declarations, it's with the fmt.Println line. You must move this inside of a function:

func main() {
    fmt.Println(words, length)
}
