import ("os" "fmt" )

func Size(fileName string) (int64, error) { fileInfo, err := os.Stat(fileName) if err != nil { // RETURN THE VALUES 0 AND err return 0, fmt.Println(err)

The instructions (and the code comment) both tell you to "RETURN THE VALUES 0 AND err". This can be taken just as literally as the other comment. You wont need to call "fmt.Println" or import "fmt".
