Error message

cannot use x (type string) as type int in argument to func

What broke

You attempted to pass a variable of type string to a function that requires an integer argument. This mismatch in data types is causing the error.

Why it broke

In Go, types are strictly enforced, and a string cannot be used where an int is expected. This is a common issue when variables are not properly converted to the required type before being passed to a function.

How to fix

To fix this error, you need to convert the string to an integer before passing it to the function. You can use the `strconv.Atoi` function from the `strconv` package to perform this conversion.

Code fix

import "strconv"

x := "123"
intValue, err := strconv.Atoi(x)
if err != nil {
    // handle error
}
func(intValue)
