Hi,

I am fairly new to Julia. I’ve coded a relatively big (at least for me) piece of code, but I have the following error message that shows up when I run it

WARNING: deprecated syntax “y::Core.apply\_type(Array,Float64,2)”.  
Use “local y::Core.apply\_type(Array,Float64,2)” instead.

It does not point to any line or anything, so I’m having a hard time locating the source of the warning.  
Would anyone have any pointer/idea of what could be causing this ?

Thanks

I guess this is unfortunate printing.  
Are you having these somewhere in your source:

```nohighlight
x::Matrix{Float64} # or Array{Float64, 2}
...
x = zeros(Float64, 2, 2)

```

That was it !  
I had a  
`x::Array{Float64, 2}`  
declared somewhere in the code. I just removed it and it’s all good now 😃
