Golang : flag provided but not defined error
Problem :
Your program uses flag.Parse()
function to parse the command line arguments and everything is working fine until you attempted to parse a negative value, For example, such as calculating quadratic equation.
./program -3.0 1.0
This will cause the flag.Parse() function to recognize it a flag parameter instead of negative value. How to fix this?
Solution :
Use os.Args
instead of flag.Parse
. For example, change
flag.Parse()
arg := flag.Arg(0)
to
arg := os.Args[1]
Happy coding and hope this helps!
