Simple Vector - UndefVar Error

I am trying to learn Vector implementation in Julia. (1.7.1)
Following code gives :Candidate not defined" error.
The code has taken from the question here.
Stack overflow

What is wrong here? what is the correct way?

const max_candidates = 9
candidates = Vector{Candidate}(undef, max_candidates)

for i in 1:max_candidates
 println("Name of the candidate: ?")
 name = readline();
 println("Votes on him: ?")
 votes = parse(Int, readline());
 candidates[i] = Candidate(name, votes)
 println("Thank you, let us move to the next candidate.")
end

Means exactly what it says: you hadn’t defined Candidate yet when you executed this code. It’s presumably supposed to be some kind of struct?

yes, missed the struct part. Fixed it by declaring it. Thanks.

mutable struct Candidate
   name::String
   votes::Int8
end
