First, [please surround your code with triple backticks](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/psa-make-it-easier-to-help-you/14757).

Second, you cannot have variable assignments within a struct. The error message you get tells you this:  
`ERROR: syntax: "it = zeros(Int8, 10)" inside type definition is reserved`

If you need this data inside a struct, create a field `it::Vector{Int8}` and then initialize the struct with `lis(zeros(Int8, 10), ...)`.
