Mixture of Field:Value and Value Initializers

Why This Happens

Go struct literals can use either field:value syntax or positional syntax, but not a mixture. Positional syntax requires providing all fields in order and is fragile. Named syntax is recommended because it is explicit and survives field reordering.

The Problem

type Point struct {
    X int
    Y int
    Z int
}

p := Point{X: 1, 2, Z: 3} // mixture of field:value and value

The Fix

p := Point{X: 1, Y: 2, Z: 3}

Step-by-Step Fix

1. 1

   Identify the mixed initializer

   Find the struct literal that mixes named and positional field values.

2. 2

   Choose one style

   Pick either all named fields (recommended) or all positional values.

3. 3

   Update the literal

   Add field names to all values or remove all field names.
