Question

Hey Guys,
I've been trying my skills now for about a week on this Code Challenge. Since this is not really explained in the course I really need some help. So if there are any ideas feel free to help me.

Reset the Timer

The given code declares a Timer struct, which is initialized in main().
You need to add a reset functionality to the program.

The reset() function needs to take a pointer to the struct as its argument and reset the seconds value to 0.
Do not change the code in main(). Add the reset() function, so that the code you are given works as expected.

CODE

package main
import "fmt"

type Timer struct {
id string
seconds int
}

func main() {
var x int
fmt.Scanln(&x)
t := Timer{"ABC", x}

reset(&t)
fmt.Println(t)
}

Hey buddy, I honestly never used GO and I don't even know its syntax, so I might be completely wrong, but here is my guess: (it seems to work as required):

Thank you it seems to work. Indeed I never tried to use a pointer direktly to the struct.
