To get the plot, you need to call the `plot` function without the `=` sign, like this:

```julia
plot(p, z, marker=:heg, leg=false, linewidth=2, linecolor=:black)

```

The error is because Julia thinks you are bounding a named tuple to the variable `plot` and this named tuple does not have values for `p` and `z` fields.

Also, it is useful for this forum to quote your code with backticks 🙂
